Norman Rockwell, The Connoisseur, Saturday Evening Post cover January 13, 1962.
Standard size postcard measures 4" inches by 6" printed on heavy weight card stock.
In 1961, Rockwell's studio was temporarily transformed into an abstract expressionist's workplace as he painted The Connoisseur, a painting about the relationship between conventional and modern art. Always fascinated by modern and abstract art, Rockwell designed a cover in which he could acknowledge his appreciation of the genre. By placing his back to us, he leaves the interpretation of the museum visitor's reaction to the viewer.
