Norman Rockwell (1894-1978)

Boy Painting Girl's Slicker (She's My Baby), 1927

Cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, June 4, 1927

Oil on canvas

 

Norman Rockwell's output in the 1920s was prodigious. Throughout the decade, he produced ninety-seven Post covers, or thirty percent of his total Post output from 1916 to 1963. On May 10, 1927, the movie "She's My Baby," about a couple whose blissful marriage turns sour but is later saved, debuted. Advance trailers for the movie may have inspired Rockwell to use the title in his June 4 Saturday Evening Post cover. At the time, Rockwell was reaping the popularity and financial rewards of his artistic success, and he and wife Irene were also enjoying New Rochelle's high society. They gave and attended lavish parties and socialized at New Rochelle's yacht and country clubs. But the glamour and festivities camouflaged a failed marriage. Like the script of "She's My Baby," the Rockwell's marriage was disintegrating; unlike the movie, it would not be saved.

 

Rockwell offers a mixture of textures and patterns to vary an otherwise simple composition. The sheen of the raincoat and the girl's curls contrast with the rough patina of old shoe leather and the velvety hand of felt hats. The patterned sweater and window-pane-checkered pants add more visual spice. Colors offset each other in classic complementary fashion-a bluish-green slicker against an orangey-red hat. The paint brush leads the eye to the heart symbol, the lettered "She's My Baby, and ultimately to the young girl's face.

I have a special place in my heart for old, dirty, oft-maligned cities. New Rochelle is no exception. Just a few miles north of the Bronx, the city was long ago engulfed by the suburban expansion. The city, however, had a vibrant downtown, and a long history, allowing it to retain some of its original character.

 

These beautiful row houses are far enough from the train station to indicate that they weren't build for commuters to the city, but more likely a result of an expanding New Rochelle population. I spoke to the owner of the house on the right. He was incredibly flattered and proud to have his home photographed.

John Lurie (December 14, 1952) is an actor, musician, and producer born in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA.

 

In 1978 he formed The Lounge Lizards, initially a new-york-car-crash jazz combo with his brother Evan. The Lounge Lizards exhibited the tremendous talent of artists such as Arto Lindsay and Marc Ribot, among others. The band continued to make music for 20 years.

 

In 2000 Lurie released an album under the pseudonym Marvin Pontiac, whom he described as "the son of an African father from Mali and a white Jewish mother from New Rochelle, New York."

 

During the 1980s he starred in a number of films directed by Jim Jarmusch, namely Stranger Than Paradise, Down by Law, and Permanent Vacation. He also composed music for the first two of these films as well as Mystery Train.

 

His 1991 TV series Fishing with John was a cult success. Lurie professes no knowledge about fishing, but appears in exotic locations with various notable friends, including Willem Dafoe, Matt Dillon, Dennis Hopper, Jim Jarmusch, and Down by Law co-star Tom Waits.

 

For the last four years, Lurie has been exhibiting his paintings. His work has been shown at Anton Kern Gallery and Roebling Hall in New York and Galerie Daniel Blau in Munich. He has an upcoming show this summer, 2006 at PS1 Contemporary Art Museum in New York.

 

Lurie also starred, during 2001-2003, on the HBO prison series Oz as inmate Greg Penders.
