The Checkers Game

“Without thinking too much about it in specific terms, I was showing the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed.”

Popular American artist, illustrator and humorist, who painted for publication so that more than just a limited few could view and enjoy his work.
Throughout his career, Rockwell created stunning depictions of different aspects of every life, where themes included family, courtship, work ethics, holidays, entertainment and more serious subjects like patriotism.
He was associated with the Saturday Evening Post as a cover illustrator for 47 years and through this medium, Rockwell found his public and became a well known artist.
During the 1940’s, Rockwell lived with his family in Vermont and much of his work reflected small town, rural American life and typical scenes from that era can be viewed in his paintings of a friendly checkers game between two older opponents, as in the ‘Last Move’, and the ‘Checker Players’ set in a circus environment (above).
His art displayed a love of realism and natural expression and his focus was often on postures and expressions of both people and animals and his use of colour would ad a certain dimension to each scene or setting.
Rockwell eventually left the Post and joined forces with Look magazine and during the next ten years, his illustrations reflected his deeper concerns and beliefs, as he depicted his thoughts on civil rights, the war on poverty, and space exploration.
