Rockwell, a beloved American artist created “vivid and affectionate
portraits of our country.” When he was 21 he shared studio space with
Clyde Forsythe who worked for the Saturday Evening Post.
Hw was instrumental in Rockwell working for this publication. His
work for the magazine quickly launched his career as one of the nation’s most beloved artists. In his first year with the post, his work was published eight times in the first 12 months.
Rockwell had a long painting career and completed portraits of Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon. To his credit Rockwell completed more than 700 original paintings, drawings, and studies. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States highest civilian honor, in 1977.
Be sure to bring your family so they can enjoy this wonderful collection of Rockwell’s works that depicts our nation for nearly a half century.
