Description: Gilding the Eagle or MAN PAINTING FLAGPOLE by Norman Rockwell SEP 1928 Cover Print This is a print taken from a vintage art book. Measures 14 x 10" inches. The print may/not have an image/text on the back. Comes unframed. FYI: "The work originally appeared on the May 26, 1928, cover of The Saturday Evening Post. Described by Norman Rockwell as "one of my best of this period," the painting features one of his favorite models of the 1920s, James K. Van Brunt. An ideal model and source of inspiration, Van Brunt posed for Rockwell in a wide variety of narratives and as numerous characters, including a cowboy (Dreams of Long Ago, 1927, Private Collection), and two old ladies gossiping (The Gossips, 1929, Private Collection). In Man Painting the Flagpole, Brunt sits near the top of a lofty flagpole, holding himself upright with one arm as he diligently gilds the stately eagle that adorns its pinnacle. A faint, city skyline appears in the distance beneath him. With an extra paintbrush in his pocket and a bucket of gold paint at his side, he methodically completes his work while puffing on a pipe that protrudes from underneath his bushy mustache. The composition emphasizes the patriotic symbolism of the American eagle, white simultaneously portraying a sympathetic view of people at work--a theme Rockwell revisited throughout his career." About the Artist: "Norman Rockwell paintings are synonymous with the comforts and life of a small town. From landscapes to cute puppies to curious boys, his work will take you back to a simpler time when life moved slower, and neighbors knew one another.
