America’s most prominent twentieth-century illustrator,
Norman Rockwell was revered by his public and reviled
by many in the art world, but his paintings were made
to last. Replaced at the turn of a page by a succession
of magazine issues and illustrations, his visual narratives
called the history of European art into play, employing
classical painting methodology to weave contemporary
tales inspired by everyday people and places. A cast of
affable, exquisitely painted characters and a plethora of
supporting details kept him and his audience engaged,
and inspired belief by millions in the uniquely American
vision that he conceived and continued to refine.

Public engagement with the history of popular images
has accelerated in the 21st century and there is a
growing awareness that illustration has mattered more
in the cultural history of the modern period than has
been properly recognized.

Join Stephanie Haboush Plunkett, the Norman Rockwell
Museum and Betty Krulik, AAA, Betty Krulik Fine Art, Ltd.,
as they explore Rockwell’s prolific seven-decade career,
and the cultural forces and scholarly work that has inspired
increasing market interest in his work in recent years.

This is a recording of a webinar initially held on September 20, 2021.
