Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) – Norman Rockwell’s Paintings of Character by Michael Zakian, California Art Club Newsletter, Fall 2012
Although Norman Rockwell (1894–1978) died thirty-five years ago, his work continues to grow in popularity. In 1999 the High Museum of Art in Atlanta organized a travelling retrospective Norman Rockwell: Pictures for the American People that drew huge crowds when it toured across the nation for three years. The exhibition made waves in the art world when it concluded its tour in 2002 at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, a museum dedicated to modernism and non-objective abstraction.
