Within Rockwells art, the fantasies and foibles of ordinary people are given life, central among them the themes of love of country, the sanctity of family, and the value of personal honor. Telling Stories, which accompanies an exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, is richly illustrated with Rockwell images, photographs, and film stills.Also Available: Norman Rockwell PopUp Advent Calendar (ISBN: 9781419732737)
