Through paintings and illustrations, Rockwell captured not simply scenes of New England life, but a deeply rooted ethos-one in which democratic community, moral clarity, and quiet individualism flourished. This book, and the accompanying exhibition, situates Rockwell's Vermont years within a broader creative milieu, highlighting the Arlington artist circle that included John Atherton (1900-1952), and Gene Pelham (1909-2004)- all informally enticed to Arlington, Vermont.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTogether, they helped define a cultural moment in which Vermont was mythologized as democracy's granite-strong refuge. Even Rockwell's orchestrated friendship with Anna Mary \"Grandma\" Moses (1860-1961)was part of a wider crafting of New England as both authentic and marketable-where artists and audiences alike found a form of moral anchorage. Featuring two newly acquired Rockwell paintings to Shelburne Museum celebrating Vermont's granite industry-long regarded as the state's \"backbone\"-Norman Rockwell: At Home in Vermont examines not only the imagery but the careful myth making that made Vermont central to Rockwell's enduring vision of America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eCarolyn Bauer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eis the Marna and Chuck Davis Curator of American Art at Shelburne Museum.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 152 pages | 100 colour illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e August 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e9781398840850\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e25.8 x 25.8 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shelburne Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57046153625978,"sku":"9781917273350","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/files\/norman-rockwell-at-home-in-vermont-9781917273350-1247927756.jpg?v=1783354032","url":"https:\/\/www.museumbookstore.com\/products\/norman-rockwell-at-home-in-vermont","provider":"Museum Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
