Norman Rockwell: An American Portrait
Norman Rockwell: An American Portrait (1993) Norman Rockwell, at one time considered to be a ‘pretty picture painter,’ has recently been recognized as an important American painter. Best known for his main street American Saturday Evening Post covers, his deeper social side was reflected in his post-Post paintings in the 60s, especially on racism. This video is a fine vignette about a man who worked endlessly to make a portrait seem simple and easy. 332 Magazine Covers: Norman Rockwell (1979) is a wonderful remembrance of Rockwell’s Post years.
