Norman Rockwell died in 1978 at the age of 84. He was a prominent US artist – but not
popular with the critics who found his work too sweet.
Some of his famous works included Rosie the Riveter and
Freedom of Speech. He also illustrated
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
He produced more than 4000 original works – now that's
what I call a body of work.
I've always enjoyed Norman Rockwell's art. It's so down to earth.
ReplyDeleteI've only heard the name not looked at his work. I will now go and look for it.
ReplyDeleteYears ago, I read the Reader's Digest and they had a picture of Norman Rockwell on their cover every month. My youngest son was already waiting for them every time because he loved them so much. I'm not American but he has covered a lot of my childhood, as well.
