| | Norman Rockwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Consequently, Rockwell is dismissed as a "serious painter" by some contemporary artists, who often regard his work as bourgeois and kitsch. | | | Norman Rockwell's ability to relate America's old values to the events of a rapidly changing world made him a hero and friend to millions of his compatriots. | | | Rockwell was very prolific, and produced over 2000 original works, most of which have been either destroyed by fire or are in permanent collections. |

| | In his realistic almost photographic style Rockwell depicted of the backside of businessman standing in a gallery, contemplating the meaning of a huge abstract painting that looked as if the artist had dripped his multitude of oils from a stick or can onto the canvas while it was lying on the floor. | | | Norman Rockwell's January 1962 Post cover was atypical of what America had become accustomed to since he landed his first commission with the magazine in 1916. | | | In 1973 Norman Rockwell helped to establish a custodianship of his 574 of his original paintings and drawings near his home in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. |

| | Rockwell was born in 1894, began his art career at 16, and worked pretty much until he died in 1978. | | | Rockwell's Moving In (cover of Look Magazine, May 16, 1967) or The Golden Rule, an oil painting commissioned for a Post cover (April 1, 1961) attest to his ever-growing involvement with social justice and his concern that all be accorded tolerance and equal access to opportunity. | | | Norman Rockwell's foremost interest, apart from and above doing 'good art' and earning a living from it, was the average and typical, if not ideal, American. |

| | Rockwell painted in the '60s, but by then, the influence of the illustrators had waned significantly. | | | During his prime in the 1930s and '40s, Rockwell was a mythmaker for the generation of Americans who lived through the humiliation and despair of unemployment during the Depression, and later, the fear and urgencies of World War II. | | | In 1999, Atlanta's High Museum of Art collaborated with the Rockwell Museum to organize the first major touring collection of the artist's work, which includes stops at such respected galleries as the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the San Diego Museum of Art, and the Guggenheim. |

| | Rockwell's work has all the elements of what great realist art should have: impeccable drawing and painting, unique point of view (whether you agree with it or not), stylistic perfection (you know a Rockwell when you see one) and that little extra something that indicates Genius. | | | Rockwell can't be discarded in Art History, he presented us with a vision of America and followed through with it 100%. | | | Often when artists see Rockwell's paintings in person for the first time they will tell you they were suprised [by] the subleties and variations in surface texture. |

| | St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Norman Rockwell |
| | Despite his distinction as a popular painter of everyday life, Norman Rockwell has, for much of the twentieth century, represented a point of controversy concerning the definition of art and the nature of American culture itself. | | | Still, his family remained respectably pious, to the extent that Norman and his younger brother Jarvis were conscripted into the church choir by their parents. | | | Even when, in the last decades of his life, Rockwell undertook assignments challenging the conservative cultural values of the Post--values which were mistakenly ascribed to the illustrator as well--his apparently unselfconscious, realistic style remained out of step with contemporary artistic practices. |

| | Rockwell didn't think like an artist, but he certainly was tormented like one. | | | When it comes to the claims being made for Norman Rockwell, my advice is just say no. A cadre of museum directors, curators, national critics, art historians, and suddenly populist art theorists want you to love him. | | | As artist Carroll Dunham said, "You are not in the presence of artful thought." Instead, Rockwell exhibits a canny sense of caricature, costume, props, and narrative—what Robert Hughes calls giving "every hair of every mutt its share of picturesque completeness." Rockwell is a picture maker, not a painter. |

This part of the exhibition displays original works of art and family photographs alongside newspaper headlines and photographs tracking the major political, economic, and social events of Rockwell's time. | | | Other contributing essayists are the co-curators of "Norman Rockwell: Pictures for the American People": Anne Knutson, Guest Curator, High Museum of Art; Maureen Hart Hennessey, Chief Curator, the Norman Rockwell Museum; and Judy L. Larson, formerly curator of American Art at the High Museum and now Executive Director, The Art Museum of Western Virginia. |

| | Norman Rockwell |
| | Rockwell may have agonized about being more of an illustrator than a "fine" artist, but his best work, such as this outing of a hideous American secret, makes such hierarchies as irrelevant as the old fashioned prejudice that photography must be a lower art than painting. | | | First, there was the Wadsworth Atheneum in 1985, where, to my disbelief, I saw hanging, right in the midst of Picasso, Mondrian, and Miro, a picture of a spunky little girl, smiling proudly over her newly acquired black eye as she waits outside the principal's office for her comeuppance. | | | He once avowed that Picasso was "the greatest," and it might be wondered whether Girl at Mirror, in which a young girl compares herself to a glamour-puss photo of Jane Russell, is Rockwell's homespun homage to The Museum of Modern Art's masterpiece. |
