Created for the 1970 Brown \u0026amp; Bigelow Boy Scouts calendar, \u003cem\u003eCome and Get It!\u003c\/em\u003e is among the largest of his paintings and embodies the spirit of this beloved American institution. Rockwell brilliantly captures the excitement of camp life as Scouts eagerly gather for mealtime, creating a scene filled with warmth, energy and youthful camaraderie. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rockwell’s relationship with the Boy Scouts of America spanned more than six decades, during which his calendar illustrations and contributions to \u003cem\u003eBoys' Life\u003c\/em\u003e became familiar images in American homes. He famously accepted no royalties for these commissions, assigning all reproduction rights to the organization as a reflection of his admiration for the values it represented. \u003cem\u003eCome and Get It!\u003c\/em\u003e appears in numerous important publications, including the 1970 cover of \u003cem\u003e Scouting\u003c\/em\u003e magazine, the ninth edition of the \u003cem\u003eOfficial Boy Scout Handbook\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eNorman Rockwell's World of Scouting\u003c\/em\u003e and the artist's catalogue raisonné. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Norman Rockwell stands as America's most beloved illustrator, whose work transcended commercial art to become a defining visual narrative of 20th-century American life. His Brown \u0026amp; Bigelow calendar series (1948-1964) ranks alongside his \u003cem\u003eSaturday Evening Post\u003c\/em\u003e covers as works that elevated him from celebrated illustrator to national institution. Rockwell's extraordinary ability to find profound meaning in everyday moments earned him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977, the highest civilian honor bestowed upon American citizens. Museums worldwide, including the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, preserve and celebrate his legacy as an artist who documented American values, aspirations and the tender moments that unite us all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Painted 1970 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 37 high x 31\" wide (94 x 78.7 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 41\" high x 34 1\/4\" wide x 2\" deep (104.1 x 87 x 5.1 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Collection of the Boy Scouts of America\u003cbr\u003e M.S.
