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. 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.
