Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) Sporting Boys: Missed (Golf), 1951 Brown and Bigelow Four Seasons calendar illustration. Media print lithograph signed artist proof, special edition of 25 unnumbered on Inomachi Nacre (Japon) paper.
In 1977 Atelier Ettinger printed Sporting Boys: Missed (Golf), an eleven-color lithograph a part of the Sports portfolio. The edition, measuring 24.5" by 20" inches, consists of 260 impressions on papier d'Arches. 200 were numbered and 60 artist proofs were signed in pencil by Norman Rockwell. An additional 35 impressions were signed and designated with roman numerals, and 25 deluxe artist proofs were printed on Inomachi Nacre (Japon) paper.
The Sports Portfolio was originally used for the 1951 Brown and Bigelow Four Seasons calendar. When describing his calendar illustrations, Rockwell stated that "Each calendar is made up of four paintings, one for each season of the year. In most of the calendars I used the same characters in all four paintings; each painting showed them engaged in an activity appropriate to the season which it represented: four boys playing basketball, baseball, golf, and football."
