Norman Rockwell neighbor Buddy Edgerton describes his "career" as a model for the famed illustrator. Rockwell used Edgerton for several of his boy scout paintings done during the years he lived in Arlington, Vermont.
Norman Rockwell Museum will hold a special release party for author Bud Edgerton and Nan O'Brien's new book "The Unknown Rockwell: A Portrait of Two American Families" on Thursday, October 8, from 2 to 5 p.m. "The Unknown Rockwell" is an intimate account of the relationship between the Edgerton and Rockwell families, next-door neighbors in West Arlington, Vermont, for 10 years. Here, Edgerton describes his fond memories of living next door to the artist, and being one of his many models in the area. The interview was recorded at Rockwell's old home in Vermont (with red studio in the background).

In this clip, Buddy Edgerton (along with son Jim and author Nan O'Brien) gives us a tour of the property where his neighbor Norman Rockwell lived for ten years in West Arlington, Vermont. The Edgerton family's farm butted right up next to where Rockwell's studio was situated, and the family would frequently stop in to say hello (or pose for an upcoming "Saturday Evening Post" cover). More information can be found in the upcoming book "The Unknown Rockwell: A Portrait of Two American Families," to be released by Battenkill River Press.

Video for the exhibition "Fantastical Faces of Peter Rockwell: A Sculptor's Retrospective," which features a collection of work by the acclaimed sculptor and art historian. Peter lives and works in Rome, Italy, and is the youngest son of Norman Rockwell. The exhibition will be on view at Norman Rockwell Museum from July 11 through October 25, 2009.

As a young man, Peter Rockwell had no interest in pursuing a career as an artist, and intentionally avoided the arts because they were "too much in the family." A student of English literature at Haverford College, he eventually enrolled in a sculpture class at the prompting of his mother, Mary Rockwell, and "fell head-over-heels in love with it."
Today a noted sculptor and art historian, Peter Rockwell is the youngest son of legendary American illustrator, Norman Rockwell. His vibrant, animated works, inspired by circus acrobats, animals in motion, gargoyles, and monsters are featured in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, The Bridgeport Museum of American Art, and the Norman Rockwell Museum, which holds the largest compilation of his art. A leading scholar of the history of stone carving, he has documented his knowledge in "The Art of Stoneworking," his highly-regarded reference guide. An outstanding collection of the artists bronze, marble, and limestone sculptures will be on view this year as part of Norman Rockwell Museums fortieth anniversary.
