'Golden Goose Sneakers Sale illustrating '

Geplaatst 5 Juni 2017, 06:42

Anne Oppermann had just begun working as a secretary for artist Norman Rockwell in 1957, when her parents' dog, Keasle, was struck and killed by a car. About a month later, recalls Oppermann, now 60, the artist phoned her mother and told her, "Gee, your dog is up at the vet's being spayed." Her mother, she says, "went up there, and it was a miniature schnauzer, a gift from Mr. Rockwell because we had lost our http://www.goldengoosestar.com/ dog. He was like that鈥攁 friend to everybody." To many of his neighbors in Stockbridge, Mass.鈥攁nd to the general public鈥擱ockwell has always seemed like the human embodiment of his paintings: wholesome, simple, decent. The very word "Rockwellian," which calls up his images of cherub-faced Boy Scouts and sturdy grandfathers, has become an all-purpose adjective for innocence and apple-pie America. To critics, his art was hokum; as recently as 1986, a New York Times review said his work showed "appalling lack of taste." Twenty-one years after his death, the artist is in the midst of a serious reevaluation. On Nov. 6, a two-year traveling exhibition of his work鈥攆eaturing 70 oil paintings and all 322 covers he illustrated for The Saturday Evening Post鈥攐pened at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. (Later stops: Chicago, Washington, D.C., San Diego, Phoenix, Stock-bridge鈥攚here the largest Rockwell museum is located鈥攁nd New York City's Guggenheim.) "The subjects may be straightforward and simple, but the images are complex," says Ned Rifkin, director of the High Museum. "I make the analogy to Frank Capra and It's a Wonderful Life. To me, Rockwell has done in the static image what Capra managed to capture in the film narrative: a celebration of the Everyman. Norman Rockwell was the artist of popular culture." But just as Rockwell's art has long been oversimplified, so has his life. "I always felt one of his greatest creations was his public image," says his son Peter Rockwell, 63, a sculptor in Rome. In fact, despite the optimism in his art, he knew few Rockwellian moments of his own. His first wife, Irene O'Connor, divorced him in 1930, claiming he was too absorbed in his work and neglected her. His second wife, Mary Barstow, with whom he had three sons, died of a heart attack in 1959 after struggling for years with depression and alcoholism. In his later years, happily married to Molly Punderson, he seemed haunted by his reputation for kitsch. People often approached him, recalls Peter, saying, "I don't know anything about art, but I like what you do." His father used to note that he wished someone who did know art would make such a comment. Rockwell found popularity with astonishing ease. The older of two sons born in New York City to J. Waring Rockwell, manager of a textile company, and Ann Mary Hill, a homemaker, he spent his youth drawing. At age 15, he left school to study at Manhattan's Art Student's League and promptly landed his first paying gig illustrating Christmas cards. In 1913, the Boy Scouts of America asked him to be art director of their magazine, Boys Life. Rockwell would illustrate Scout calendars and manuals for the next 50 years. At 21, he moved to New Rochelle, N.Y. (then something of an illustrators' colony), and a year later drew the first of his whimsical Post covers鈥攁 forlorn boy walking a baby carriage past jeering friends, who are suited up for baseball. By the time he settled in Arlington, Vt., in 1939, he was a celebrity; his series of 1943 paintings based on FDR's four freedoms (illustrating Freedom from Want as a Thanksgiving dinner, for one) were used by the government to sell more than $132 million in war bonds. In 1953 he moved his family to Stockbridge, in part so his wife could be treated at its renowned mental-health center. He easily endeared himself to his neighbors, many of whom, famously, became models for his work. "He had a wonderful sense of humor," says Frank Dolson, 83, who posed for one called Family Tree. Betsy Manning, 51, now a sales associate at the Rockwell museum, was a model in 1957 for his painting The Checkup, of young girls gawking at a friend's missing tooth. She fondly recalls "running away" to the Rockwell house, where she called the artist Uncle Norman. He had more difficulty endearing himself to his own children: Jarvis, 68, a Great Barrington, Mass., artist; Thomas, 66, a children's book author in Connecticut, and Peter. "He was a workaholic, in his studio seven days a week for eight to nine hours, sometimes back in the evening," says Peter. "I remember my mother being mad at him when he wanted to go out there Christmas Day. The studio was what his life was built around." It provided him with an escape from his troubled relationship with his second wife, whom he married when he was 36 and she just 22. "Mother tried very hard to be the right kind of artist's wife," says Peter. "She cracked in the late '40s鈥攄rinking, a series of nervous breakdowns. The pressure just got to her." Four years after his wife's death, Rockwell ended his relationship with the Post and began Golden Goose Sneakers Sale illustrating for Look magazine, focusing on civil rights, poverty and politics. "Those Post covers haunt me," he told The New York Times in 1968. "I can't get away from them. But now I'm doing quite different things....All you needed to put in those old pictures was a dog....And if you put a bandage on his paw, wow!" Critics took notice of pieces like 1964's The Problem We All Live With, a painting inspired by Ruby Bridges, an African-American girl escorted into an all-white school by U.S. marshals. He painted portraits of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon and, in 1977, was awarded the presidential Medal of Freedom by Gerald Ford. When Rockwell died of emphysema a year later, he was on his way to being recognized as the serious artist he always wanted to be. Today, even his early work is being reevaluated. "He saw an America of such pride and self-worth," Steven Spielberg, who owns 25 Rockwells, told Life in 1993. The artist himself once offered a simple鈥攁nd sad鈥攅xplanation about why his work always seemed so buoyant. "Maybe I grew up and found the world wasn't the perfectly pleasant place I had thought it to be," Rockwell said. "I unconsciously decided that if it wasn't an ideal world, it should be."
