Meyer writes perceptively of the enormous appeal of Norman Rockwell's work, "Above all it was Rockwell's profound humanism that distinguished him. He was to his art what his favorite writers were to their novels: Dickens, Tolstoy, Mark Twain, and Thackeray. Like them he placed his individuals within a universal context, casting his characters in an extraordinary pageant of life experiences. This vast parade of personalities and situations made life worth living for him. He observed the human condition and celebrated it with a loving brush. In the end, by sharing his affection for humanity, Norman Rockwell gave as much love to his people as he received."<B>Condition Report:</B> The art is in Excellent condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
