About the Artwork
Subject: The illustration depicts two young women in their pajamas sitting on a dorm room bed, completely absorbed in looking at photos of their favorite male movie stars.
Context: A set of "Dormitory Regulations" is visible on a bulletin board in the background, which presumably dictates an early bedtime. This contrasts humorously with the girls staying up late to fantasize about glamour and romance.
Medium: The original work was an oil painting, later reproduced as limited edition lithographs and various prints.
Themes: Rockwell often depicted nostalgic or idyllic scenes of American life, capturing moments of youthful fancy and everyday human behavior. |
