Norman Rockwell (American, 1894–1978)
Country Fiddler (detail), 1921

American illustrator Norman Rockwell embodied on canvas the essence of what is now viewed nostalgically as “a vanished America.” In spite of a world changing faster by the minute, Rockwell clung to his trust and belief in humanity with gentle and thoroughly charming good humor. Today his works are recognized worldwide and his name is synonymous with an era considered distinctly American.
