Picturing America and the Art of Norman Rockwell September 1, 2009

Presented by Art Historian Jeff Mishur
Regarded as America's most popular painter during his life, Norman Rockwell has endured in the warm memories of people who enjoyed the covers he painted for The Saturday Evening Post for nearly 60 years. This program takes a look at the development of Rockwell's career from his earliest days at The Post to the years after he left The Post and began illustrating for Look and Life. Please register. Refreshments will be served.

Picturing America, from the National Endowment for the Humanities, brings American art into classrooms and libraries.
