In Search of Norman Rockwell/Kevin Rivoli/128 pages

3885117     Who doesn't like Norman Rockwell? This is a
beautiful coffee table size book that pairs some of Rockwell's famous paintings with modern photos taken by the author and photographer, Kevin Rivoli, in similar settings.  Mr. Rivoli sets out to demonstrate that the feelings and situations of those earlier times are still present as seen in his photos.  He actually does a decent job with his self assignment. The accompanying texts often point out the emotion that Norman Rockwell triggers in the viewer.  There are contributions from President Jimmy Carter, Debbie Reynolds, Arnold Palmer, Dick Clark and many more.
