Norman Rockwell and the Saturday Evening Post. - The Later Years. 1943-1971 published 1976

Norman Rockwell's later years with The Saturday Evening Post started during the second World War.

The 40's were a busy time for Rockwell and a time when he was to produce perhaps his finest and most famous works.

Poignant scenes of American soldiers away from home and in joyous reunions with family and loved ones fill the covers of the war years.

Rockwell's post-war covers provided a healing humor with scenes of everyday life.

The April Fool covers from this period were a source of great enjoyment to the artist himself as well as to his admiring public.

Rockwell depicted the candidates in several presidential elections and met and painted portraits of many U.S. Presidents.

In 1977, a presidential citation, The Freedom Award, was given him by President Gerald Ford.

Rockwell ended his 47 year career with the Curtis Publishing Company in December 1963 with republication of his famous Kennedy portrait - his way of honoring the fallen president.
