Norman Rockwell « High Dive » Hand Signed Artist Proof Lithograph by Norman Rockwell: Limited Edition Print: This piece will be shipped unframed in a tube. Norman Rockwell’s High Dive was featured as the cover of the Saturday Evening Post cover on August 16, 1947. His young son Peter was his model and he found his father’s direction to “look afraid” pretty easy to follow since he was terrified. “Rockwell’s youngest son, Peter, modeled as the boy for this famous illustration. Carrying his easel to the balcony of his studio, Rockwell cranked it as high as it would go and hoisted Peter onto a plank hanging over the two-story space to capture the real-life sense of fright on the boy’s face. “The original painting is owned by director Steven Spielberg, where it hangs in his office at Amblin Entertainment. ‘For me, that painting represents every motion picture just before I commit to directing it. . . That painting spoke to me the second I saw it. . . I said not only is that going in my collection, but it’s going in my office so I can look at it every day of my life.’ — Steven Spielberg, from Telling Stories: Norman Rockwell from the collections of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, 2010.”Norman Rockwell Biography:“I showed the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed.” – Norman Rockwell Norman Perceval Rockwell, The Saturday Evening Post’s most famous and prolific illustrator, is considered by many to be the greatest American artist of all time. He was a master storyteller via canvas and paint, and his works, capturing the triumphs and foibles of the common man, are as popular today as they were in decades past. Rockwell’s talent flourished during a period referred to as “The Golden Age of Illustration,” when the nation enjoyed the brilliance of such illustrators as Winslow Homer, J.C. Leyendecker, Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, and Ellen Pyle. Born in New York City on February 3, 1894, Rockwell always wanted to be an illustrator. He transferred to the Chase Art School at the age of 14, and then went on to the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League. There, he was taught by famous artists such as Thomas Fogarty, George Bridgman, and Frank Vincent DuMond. Rockwell’s first major commission came in 1912, when he was just 18, with his first book illustration for Carl H. Claudy’s Tell Me Why: Stories about Mother Nature. Rockwell later produced works for St. Nicholas Magazine and the Boy Scouts of America (BSA)’s publication Boys’ Life, of which he later became the art editor. During his three year tenure (1913–1916), he painted several covers, the first, Scout at Ship’s Wheel, appearing on the Boys’ Life September 1913 edition. Some of Rockwell’s fondest early memories were of summers spent in the country enjoying an adventuresome and carefree existence. His parents took in and cared for boarders, leaving young Rockwell the freedom to spend his days as he wished. Rockwell recalled in his autobiography, “I have no bad memories of my summers in the country,” and remarked that his recollection of this time “all together formed an image of sheer blissfulness.” Many of his experiences during this special time are reflected in his later paintings. Rockwell’s involvement with The Saturday Evening Post began in 1916. His family had moved to New Rochelle, New York, where a then 21-year-old Rockwell shared a studio with cartoonist Clyde Forsythe, who worked for the Post. Forsythe helped Rockwell submit his first successful cover painting, Mother’s Day Off, to the Post in 1916. Forty-seven years later, Rockwell had published a total of 323 original covers for The Saturday Evening Post, the last in 1963. Rockwell spent the last 10 years of his career painting about civil rights, poverty, and space exploration for Look magazine.
