This exhibition reconsiders Norman Rockwell's place in the history of twentieth-century American art and culture. Although he was one of America's most popular artists, the art world held a very different opinion of his work. Nationally renowned speakers will present their views on the topic. Lectures take place in the Museum's Whiteman Hall.
Space is very limited.
Tickets will also be available for purchase in person at the Museum's Admission Desk. The youngest of Norman Rockwell's three sons and model for numerous paintings will discuss his father's life and work. Currently a sculptor living in Italy, he brings his unique, personal insights to this series. Both times for this lecture are sold out. Thursday, April 5, 7pm Christopher Clarke, Historian and Exhibitions Developer, New York Rockwell's importance as a cultural figure and American image-maker will be discussed in the light of the history of visual and media communication before the dominance of television in the 1950's.
