The wit, humanity, and many-sided talent of Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) are on full display in his classic autobiography. Rockwell's New York City boyhood, his apprentice days at the Art Students League, his first fateful visit to the Saturday Evening Post, his adventures abroad, his move to rural Vermont, all are recounted with a mix of sharp observation and self-deprecating humor. This Definitive Edition restores the original 1960 text of My Adventures as an Illustrator, as well as the playful vignettes that Rockwell drew to head each chapter.It is also illustrated with more than 150 of Rockwell's paintings and drawings, many of which highlight lesser-known aspects of his work.
