century. For over six decades, Rockwell chronicled
our ever-changing society in his charming images,
highlighting ordinary people doing everyday things
while offering reassurance during an era of transformation. With many of his paintings considered
American icons, Rockwell holds a permanent position
as a national treasure.
The exhibition American Chronicles: The Art
of Norman Rockwell is on view at the Taubman
Museum of Art from March 20 through June 12 and
highlights his unparalleled role as an icon-maker and
storyteller and includes original works drawn from
the Norman Rockwell Museum's permanent collection. Presenting a wide-range of Rockwell's imagery, it
explores his profound impact on American culture
and how he helped define the way our nation sees itself
in terms of family, innocence, and heroism.
Considered one of The Saturday Evening Post's most
prolific illustrators, Rockwell's paintings graced 323 of
its covers from 1916-1963 and provided sentimental
glimpses into our culture. His works, rich in realism,
captured key moments from World War I to the Civil
Rights Movement, inventions such as the rise of the
automobile and commercial air travel, and a record
number of our nation's presidents.
Later in life, he devoted his time to recording the
Civil Rights Movement, the rise of space exploration
and poverty for Look Magazine. In 1977, Rockwell
received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the
United States of America's highest civilian honor for
"vivid and affectionate portraits of our country."
The exhibition includes such beloved and wellknown images as "Triple Self-Portrait" (1960), "Girl
at Mirror" (1954), "Going and Coming" (1947), "Art
Critic "(1955), "No Swimming" (1920), as well as
preliminary sketches, 323 The Saturday Evening Post
covers, photographs, color studies, and detailed
drawings. This rare exhibition chronicles Rockwell's
career during 65 years of painting and highlights his
unique artistic legacy that profoundly influenced
American perceptions and ideals.
