NORMAN
ROCKWELL (1894-1978)
PEACE CORPS IN ETHIOPIA
1966, oil on canvas
17" x 25", signed and inscribed lower right
Look Magazine, June 14, 1966
"A new plow, not very special to us, can mean a new
land for these Ethiopian farmers. A little help, competent
but not always expert, is often all it takes to break through
centuries of arrested progress in fields where agriculture
is almost Biblical. A little knowledge, some simple skills
and a lot of experience." p.703
