Book excerpt: 'Norman Rockwell's America... in England' exhibits a remarkable collection of select original works spanning six decades, providing a comprehensive look at Norman Rockwell's career, including all of his vintage 'Saturday Evening Post' covers. Rockwell's heart-warming depictions of everyday life made him the best-known and most beloved American artist of the 20th century. He lived and worked through some of the most eventful periods in the nation's history, and his paintings vividly chronicled those times. They serve as a mirror of American life, reflecting not only who Americans were but also what they thought - and what some may have subconsciously endeavored to become.
