On Campaign features dozens of previously unpublished works of Keith Rocco, to include drawings from his sketchbooks and paintings commissioned for private and corporate collections
In style, subject matter, quality, and inspiration, Keith Rocco’s work evokes the masters of historical art. Rocco has earned acclaim as one of the most respected artists painting today.
In 1985, Uniformes Magazine proclaimed him as an artist „in the tradition of Remington and Detaille“. In 1987, his first limited edition print was issued to the market. Since then, American History Illustrated, Civil War Times Illustrated, Confederate Veteran, America’s Civil War, Strategy and Tactics, Uniformes Magazine, and Virginia’s Civil War have all featured his work on their covers. His art has graced the dustjackets of numerous books on the Civil War, including Peter Cozzens’ No Better Place to Die, This Terrible Sound, and The Shipwreck of Their Hopes.
Keith Rocco’s paintings hang in every major collection of historical art in the United States and in prestigious institutions abroad. In 1992, Rocco was commissioned to create three huge murals for the new Wisconsin Veterans Museum.
Today Rocco lives and paints in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. He can often be found exploring its battlefields, touching the past to better convey it on canvas: „The point is to make history something real, something that carries the viewer out of himself and into another world, where it is his response, literally, that keeps history alive“. |
