American in Everyday Life





Norman Rockwell's heartwarming illustrations of American life appeared on covers of the Saturday Evening Post magazine for many years. When people use the expression "as American as apple pie," they could just as well say "as American as a Norman Rockwell painting."







The artwork of Norman Rockwell is the story they tell outside the image. Rockwell had a keen sense of timing. His ability to capture a specific moment in time causing the viewer’s imagination to transport into that instance required great talent.





Looking at one of these paintings, you can’t help but wonder, and imaginatively know, what is going on outside of the particular scene, that we simply can’t see.
