America’s most prominent twentieth-century illustrator,
Norman Rockwell was revered by his public and reviled
by many in the art world, but his paintings were made
to last. Replaced at the turn of a page by a succession
of magazine issues and illustrations, his visual narratives
called the history of European art into play, employing
classical painting methodology to weave contemporary
tales inspired by everyday people and places. A cast of
affable, exquisitely painted characters and a plethora of
supporting details kept him and his audience engaged,
and inspired belief by millions in the uniquely American
vision that he conceived and continued to refine.
It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
