"Norman Rockwell: American Imagist" September 19, 2009

“I paint life as I would like it to be,” said the great illustrator Norman Rockwell. Seeing himself as a storyteller, Rockwell created the images that defined America and Americans, in this country and abroad. His enormous impact was achieved through the 321 covers he created for Saturday Evening Post from 1916 to 1963, including his famous Four Freedoms series of patriotic wartime paintings.
NORMAN ROCKWELL: American Imagist is organized by American Illustrators Gallery, New York City and The National Museum of American Illustration, Newport, Rhode Island. The exhibition includes approximately 300 Saturday Evening Post covers and 48 Rockwell paintings.
