"Rockwell’s contributions to our visual legacy, many of them now icons of American culture, have found a permanent place in our national psyche."

American Chronicles, The Art of Norman Rockwell

Yesterday, the 3 February, American people and world admirers celebrated the 122th anniversary of Norman Rockwell.

One of the most popular American artists of the past century, Rockwell (1894-1978) was a "keen observer of human nature and a gifted storyteller". 

I love his illustrations of American culture. They chronicle scenes of ordinary people in everyday life wonderfully.

Until the 13 February, you can visit the exhibition The Art of Norman Rockwell at MOA. Don't miss this awesome event if you are teaching near the BYU Museum of Art.

But of course American schools can visit Norman Rockwell Museum.

Wonder on January! So many good things I shared with my usual readers!
