Thanksgiving appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post on November 24th 1945. This was Norman Rockwell’s 234th cover for the Post. This is one of the most touching paintings of Rockwell’s. The models for the cover are real life mother and son. Rockwell offered the painting to his model after it had been published. Dick Hagelberg declined the offer. Why Rockwell as was his habit and indeed his prerogative as an artist had somewhat embellished the mother’s appearance. He had added twenty pounds and twenty years to her appearance. Norman Rockwell was one of America’s leading artists. He chose to tell the story of the American dream the detail of a simpler time painted with warmth and humor. He tapped into the nostalgia of the American people with paintings that were often idyllic and expressed enthusiasm for the ordinary. In preparations for a painting Norman Rockwell would set up a scene using his friends and neighbors taking hundreds of photos until satisfied. Rockwell would then produce the painting in charcoal oil and then finish with the final image. Our fine art prints from the Marmont Hill Art Collective display sharp clear images.
