Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It's not always a popular position, but I'm a longtime fan of Norman Rockwell's highly representational style of illustration. (I generally prefer book and magazine illustrators to "classic" artists.) But I'm a bit puzzled why this book even exists. Some of the works illustrated are repeated with no explanation, some of those discussed at some length in the text are never illustrated at all, and the captions often misinterpret Rockwell's obvious (and long-recognized) themes or intentions. And there are more than a few typos and misspellings. If you want only one large pictorial treatment of Rockwell's seven decades of work, this ain't it. Instead, go with one of Thomas Buechner's several classic treatments from the 1970s, all of which have been reprinted several times -- and which Sonder himself even recommends.
