This beautiful volume on Rockwell's America presents a new approach to the work of a greatly loved artist.  Christopher Finch, the author, starts this book with a lively biography of Norman Rockwell, covering the full range of his activities and his phenomenally successful career as an illustrator.  Discussing many paintings in detail, he shows, for example, how the artist's treatment of a setting tells a whole story, or how his emphasis on one element or another makes a powerful statement.
