Norman Rockwell Boeken

Begin jaren ‘50 maakt de familie Donkers de grote oversteek naar de Nieuwe Wereld, het land van de Injuns. ‘Wij noemen jou hier Johnny!’ wordt er al snel voor Jan beslist. Donkeyville USA is een fictieve autobiografie, over een emigrantengezin dat een nieuw bestaan op probeert te bouwen. Het perspectief ligt bij de opgroeiende Johnny. ‘De A&P was een immense, helderverlichte winkel waar je met een klein karretje doorheen liep en alle boodschappen zelf van de planken kon pakken. Voor het eerst sinds onze aankomt maakte ik mee dat moeder iets van onbekommerde vreugde uitstraalde. "Kijk nou eens, zakdoekjes van papier, heb je ooit zoiets gezien?”’ Donkeyville USA verscheen als wekelijks feuilleton in de Volkskrant.

At the outset of his career, Norman Rockwell was not the most likely candidate for long-term celebrity; he was just one of many skillful illustrators working within the conventions of the day. But there was something tenacious about his vision, and somet It seems familiar because it was everyone's dream of America; and it was unique because only Rockwell managed to bring it to life with such authority. This was, perhaps, an America that never existed, but it was an America the public wanted to exist. And Rockwell put it together from elements that were there for everyone to see. Rockwell helped preserve American myths, but, more than that, he recreated them and made them palatable for new generations. His function was to reassure people, to remind them of old values in times of rapid change.
