Available for the first time on DVD, this film presents the inside story of the best twenty years of Norman Rockwell’s legendary covers for The Saturday Evening Post. Anecdotal and charming, the late Ken Stuart—art editor for the Post from 1943 to 1963—recalls many intimate and engaging details of his working relationship with Rockwell, and gives us a unique glimpse into the life and work of one of America’s most beloved artists. Featuring never-before-seen photographs and interview footage with many of his models—including a 1958 interview with television icon Edward R. Murrow—the film provides an unprecedented insight into Rockwell’s life and art. Ken Stuart’s commentary, never seen in any other film, reveals an important part of the Rockwell story that could only be shared by Stuart, the one man closest to his career. |
