I am looking for an image of Norman Rockwell, Illustrator from Cradle to Grave, painted in 1946.?

Question

I've scoured the web looking for an image of this illustration and have had no luck. I've seen references to the work here:

http://archives.cnn.com/2000/STYLE/arts/06/14/norman.rockwell.reut/

http://www.artnet.com/magazine/news/artnetnews/artnetnews11-2-01.asp

but can't find an image. Help!

Answer 1

The original drawing, "From Cradle to Grave," which was a drawing after "Artist Facing Blank Canvas (Deadline)," sold at Sotheby's April 12,1990 6.7" X 32." I checked his museum and there is no image. Below are his archives at the Library of Congress, you'd better get ready... and roll up your sleeves!

And I then I found this: In USA Today, Nov.2000: In presenting the Museum Today feature, "Pictures for the American People: The Art of Norman Rockwell," in the July 2000 issue, copyright information on the paintings inadvertently was omitted. The following paintings are copyright[C] by The Curtis Publishing Company: "No Swimming"; "Artist Facing Blank Canvas (Deadline)"; "Freedom from Want"; "Freedom from Fear"; "Freedom to Worship"; "Freedom of Speech"; "After the Prom"; "The Gossips"; "Going and Coming"; "Christmas Homecoming"; "Girl at Mirror"; "Art Critic"; "The Marriage License"; "The Runaway"; "Triple Self-Portrait"; "Saying Grace"; "Golden Rule"; "Gary Cooper as the Texan"; "Walking to Church"; and "April Fool: Girl with Shopkeeper." http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1272/is_2666_129/ai_67328790
And ..If I were you, I would email the museum and ask them your question. Hope that this helped! http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1272/is_2666_129/ai_67328790

The Art Renewal Center has 103 of his paintings in its archives. If it's not there, I couldn't begin to tell you where to look.
