This is the latest edition of GQ British, and the two I've chosen are 'The Seasoned explorer" and "Big Time operators". The first article is showing a new style for the winter, GQ is a magazine for men between the ages of 20 to 50, this article is for men aged 20 to 30, because of the style is young and fresh, however it can be worn by anyone. The prices are quite high, due to the brand. 
The second article is about watches, one of the most popular accessories for men, specifically analogue watches. Watches have become their own fashion statement for that you get different types of watch like digital and analogue, prices between £50 to something ridiculous in the thousands, different straps from leather and matte to  stainless steel and pleather.

Norman Rockwell was an American Illustrator, his work would be based around American culture, His most famous work was for the front covers for Saturday Evening News, he did that for almost 5 decades.   His work has some added humour, but also a story to his work which I find really interesting, Rockwell was born in New York, 1894, his work was based on what would be called The American Dream, he went to the Art Student League of New York and the National Academy of Design, He was seen as the godfather of American illustrations, This piece I find really intriguing is that it is a portrait of himself painting himself, what I like about this piece is how he was able to is how much he has done in one piece and that it shows life in a still, painting, its a triple portrait. This piece was for the Saturday Evening News, it was made in 1959, however, it was published and year later in 1960, he used oil paints on canvas.
