Norman Rockwell (1894-1978)
Boy Painting Girl's Slicker (She's My Baby), 1927

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.

tinkering with scanning possibilities thoughout the day. this one I think matched the V750 output, and I can safely say "I wasn't even trying"... at all. This is as hodge-podge as it gets and did a makeshift setup in about 5 minutes at my kitchen table. Proof of "it it worth it" concept = heck yes it does. Much more to do, but this is going to be good. This raw file was edited in Lightroom (as was the V750 version), but boy, not much... not much at all.
