Norman Rockwell- "The Dugout"
GREAT GIFT FOR ANY BASEBALL FAN
For the Chicago baseball teams, 1948 was a disastrous season. Both the Cubs and the White Sox finished at the bottom of their respective leagues, and the White Sox's performance was especially dismal. Rockwell painted this study of a disconsolate dugout, turning it into a tableau that summed up the frustration of an entire city.

Norman Rockwell
Norman Rockwell illustrated covers for 'The Saturday Evening Post' for 47 years. The public loved his often-humorous depictions of American life.
 
Rockwell's success stemmed to a large degree from his careful appreciation for everyday American scenes, the warmth of small-town life in particular. Often what he depicted was treated with a certain simple charm and sense of humor. Some critics dismissed him for not having real artistic merit, but Rockwell's reasons for painting what he did were grounded in the world that was around him. "Maybe as I grew up and found the world wasn't the perfect place I had thought it to be, I unconsciously decided that if it wasn't an ideal world, it should be, and so painted only the ideal aspects of it," he once said.
