A collection of posters that appeared on the covers of Look Magazine and the Saturday Evening Post between the years 1919 to 1968, depicting life and times in America.

An unprecedented study of Norman Rockwell's creative process, pairing masterworks of American illustration with the photographs that inspired their execution

Norman Rockwell's son, Tom, has put together the absolute finest collection of his father's bounteous body of work, illustrations that bespeak the golden glow of pre- and post-WWII Americana. Rockwell senior, who said he depicted life “as I would like it to be,” chronicled iconic visions of American life: the Thanksgiving turkey, soda fountains, ice skating on the pond, and small-town boys playing baseball-not to mention the beginning of the civil rights movement. Now, the best-selling collection of Rockwell's most beloved illustrations, organized by decade, is available in a refreshed edition. With more than 150 images-oil paintings, watercolors, and rare black-and-white sketches--this is an uncommonly faithful Rockwell treasury. The original edition has sold nearly 200,000 copies.

Based on the Rockwell collections owned by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, "Telling Stories" is the first book to chart the connections between Rockwell's iconic images of American life and the movies.

Including an international directory of museum permanent collection catalogs.
