“America’s favorite artist,” Norman Rockwell, chronicled middle-class life in the twentieth century. His commercial paintings–produced for calendars, cards, and magazines, including The Saturday Evening Post–portray the heartwarming and humorous aspects of American life. His work focused on shared experiences and relatable themes like childhood, family life, holidays, work, sports and patriotism, and helped to shape the way Americans understood the American experience. This program will introduce the artist, his life and many of his popular paintings that tell the stories of American life. Presented by Jane Oneail, who holds a master’s in Art History from Boston University and a master’s in Education from Harvard University, and currently lectures at Southern New Hampshire University.
