One of the most popular American artists of the past century, Norman Rockwell was a keen observer of human nature and a gifted storyteller. For nearly seven decades, while history was in the making all around him, Rockwell chronicled our changing society in the small details and nuanced scenes of ordinary people in everyday life, providing a personalized interpretation - albeit an idealized one - of American identity. This exhibition shows Rockwell's contributions to our visual legacy, many of them now icons of American culture, which have found a permanent place in our national psyche.
