Norman Rockwell: Private moments for the masses

This special Exhibitiondedicated to the 50th anniversary of the museum, offers a behind-the-scenes look at Rockwell's autobiographical aspects of art through his favorite images that convey his own interests, anxieties and life experience in subtle and direct ways.

Norman Rockwell, an astute visual narrator and masterful painter with a clear personal message that he conveyed, creating fictional realities that offered a convincing picture of life that many Americans aspired to. His carefully designed works of art for the covers and pages of popular publications attracted a grateful audience for decades, but few could imagine everything that revealed his art about the inner workings, the artist’s personal and professional life.
