American Illustator, New York City, 1894 - 1978 - Specialized
in warm and humorous scenes of everyday small-town life. Best known for his magazine covers, notably for the Saturday Evening
Post, he developed a style of finely drawn realism with a wealth of anecdotal detail. Rockwell's poster series on the
Four Freedoms was widely circulated during World War II. The artist lived the last 25 years of his life in Stockbridge, Mass.,
where a large museum devoted to his work opened in 1993.
