## Caption

Executed at the height of the artist's career, SHUFFLETON’S BARBERSHOP represents the very #best of Norman Rockwell. 

Here Rockwell depicts a darkened barbershop that—long since closed to customers—is illuminated only with the #goldenlight that bathes the #trio of musicians playing in the #backroom , unaware of our presence. 

The painting is a technical #tourdeforce that demonstrates the continuing #power and #resonance of the artist's distinctive #vision of #American life. 

Astonishingly complex in both content and form, Shuffleton's Barbershop, evinces Rockwell's extensive awareness of #art #historical precedents and his #mastery of his medium, while also attesting to the importance with which he viewed his own #creative abilities.
