ESPÍRITU DE AMÉRICA
2025
oil pastel on paper
11¾ × 16½ in
Prior to his stardom as the illustrator for the Saturday Evening Post, Norman Rockwell found success designing the covers of the Boys' Life magazine, the official magazine of the Boy Scouts of America.
In this portrait, I subvert the Rockwellian vision of the ideal scout—young, handsome, white.
In a private collection.
