AN AMERICAN ICON - NORMAN ROCKWELL
IMAGES AND STORIES FROM:
One of the most popular American artists of the past century
Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) was a keen
observer of human nature and a gifted storyteller. For nearly seven decades,
while history was in the making all around him, Rockwell chronicled our
changing society in the small details and nuanced scenes of ordinary people in
everyday life, providing a personalized interpretation—albeit often an
idealized one—of American identity. His depictions offered a reassuring visual
haven during a time of momentous transformation as our country evolved into a
complex, modern society. Rockwell’s contributions to our visual legacy, many of
them now icons of American culture, have found a permanent place in our
national psyche.
