Thankfully, the All-American and heartwarming illustrations of Norman Rockwellhave been revamped, invigorating public interest in this American artist once again. Hoping to turn The Norman Rockwell Museum into "nexus for the study of American illustration art," what some may dub, a lost field, the museum has announced plans to establish the Rockwell Center.
“Rockwell is very accessible, but when you understand more broadly and deeply how much influence his work wielded on an entire nation, you have a much richer experience,”said Laurie Norton Moffatt, the director of the museum.
Having his first illustration printed for the Evening post at age 22, Rockwell's photos are charged with emotion that keep his prints forever relevant.
