SAYING GRACE Crowded Restaurant Inspired Mennonite Family Norman Rockwell 17x12"

Description: SAYING GRACE by Norman Rockwell FYI: From a "Painting for cover of The Saturday Evening Post, November 24, 1954" "The painting depicts a woman and a young boy saying grace in a crowded restaurant, as they are observed by other people at their table. Rockwell's inspiration for Saying Grace came from a Saturday Evening Post reader who saw a Mennonite family praying in a restaurant. Rockwell used his son, Jarvis, as one of the models for the painting. Elizabeth Goldberg, director of American Art at Sotheby's said that in his preparations for Saying Grace Rockwell "... visited Automats and diners in New York and Philadelphia to get the scene just right ... his imagery was so vivid people would say they recognized the diner even though it didn't exist, each painting felt so universal." Rockwell took the table and chairs from a diner in Times Square for the photo shoot for the painting. In preparations for a painting Rockwell would set up a scene, using his friends and neighbors, taking hundreds of photos until satisfied." This is a print taken from a vintage art book. Measures 17x12" inches. The print may/not have an image/text on the back. Comes unframed. 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.
