Classic Football Art “First Down” Poster by Norman Rockwell – Haddad’s Fine Arts

Details

He was America’s greatest folk artist – Norman Rockwell, an illustrator who brought the spirit of the country alive for the world to see! Sports were a recurring theme in Rockwell’s career, and this is one of his many works centered around the game of football. From his “Sporting Boys” series comes “First Down”, this hilarious look at three motley pre-teen kids tripping all over themselves as they attempt to tackle their friend the ball carrier. From the facial grimaces, to the classic equipment and uniforms, to the high-flying clumsy action, this work of art perfectly captures the joys of boyhood in 20th century America, and the love of America’s unique gridiron sport. A rare print for your wall and your collection!
