Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) High School Graduate, c.1961 Advertising illustration for American Family Life series for the Mass Mutual Insurance co. Lithograph print pencil signed in lower right, edition 156/200. Measures 26" x 20" inches.
High School Graduate was originally created for the American Family Life series for Mass Mutual Insurance Co.
Norman Rockwell's 80 pencil drawings done for Massachusetts Life Insurance Company first appeared in a series of national consumer advertisements sponsored by the Company during the 1950s and early 1960s. Rockwell's appeal during his lifetime and beyond is derived from the familiar believable traits of each of the artist's characters and the nostalgic mood of their settings, as is evident in this work. In Rockwell's own words, "Without thinking too much about it in specific terms, I was showing the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed."
