In Rockwell’s world children disobeyed rules, adolescent girls grappled with social pressures, boys struggled with their evolution into manhood, and, in his most powerful paintings, society confronted issues of race.
Many of his images of youth intended to evoke nostalgia and depict real family relationships, and memorialize the everyday. This piece was illustrated originally for the 1949 Four Seasons Calendar.
