Puppy Love, a Norman Rockwell painting, appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post published April 24, 1926, is one of Rockwell’s most iconic images. The official title for this illustration is Boy and Girl Gazing at Moon, but it is more often referred to as Puppy Love. Other alternate titles for this painting include Little Spooners, First Love and Sunset.

 

Life’s simple pleasures and the blush of first love are the focus of the painting, which portrays a young couple entranced by the moon, and by each other’s company. Their rickety wooden seating bends under their weight but does not deter them from their reverie, for they are taking time to enjoy the moment.

 

The composition invites us to peer over the shoulders of the children who are not aware of our presence. Their simple fishing gear—a branch equipped with line and a blue and orange bobbin (which repeats the artist’s color palette)—has been placed down behind them. Enrapt as they are, they are not aware that their bait is escaping from the can, or that the dog, now a third wheel, gazes longingly out from the canvas.

 

The original oil on canvas painting is part of the collection of The Norman Rockwell Museum of Massachusetts

A young talent, Norman Rockwell received his first commission at age 17.  By 1916, a 22-year-old Rockwell had painted his first cover for The Saturday Evening Post—the beginning of a 47-year and 321-cover relationship with the most prestigious magazine of the era. Rockwell's success stemmed to a large degree from his careful appreciation for everyday American scenes, the warmth of small-town life in particular. Often what he depicted was treated with a certain simple charm and sense of humour. He created World War II posters and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977.
