On Campaign

Peter Cozzens, D. Scott Hartwig

On Campaign features dozens of previously unpublished works of Keith Rocco, to include drawings from his sketchbooks e paintings commissioned for private e corporate collections

In style, subject matter, quality, ed 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 e 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 e Tactics, Uniformes Magazine, e 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, e The Shipwreck of Their Hopes.

Keith Rocco’s paintings hang in every major collection of historical art in the United States ed in prestigious institutions abroad. In 1992, Rocco was commissioned to create tre huge murals for the new Wisconsin Veterans Museum.

Today Rocco lives e 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 ed into another world, where it is his response, literally, that keeps history alive.
