American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell traces the evolution of Rockwell’s art and iconography throughout his career—from carefully choreographed reflections on childhood innocence in such paintings asDay in the Life of a Little Girl (1952) to powerful, consciousness-raising images forLook in the 1960s, documenting the traumatic realities of desegregation in the South. Rockwell’s artistic contributions and the impact of his images on American popular culture are explored within the context of his life and times through in-depth exhibition commentary, a decade-by-decade installation of 40 original works of art, and a complete set of 323 Saturday Evening Post cover tear sheets, spanning 47 years. The exhibition travels to 12 national venues through 2013.
The nation’s premier illustrator for more than six decades, Norman Rockwell (1894–1978) was the people’s painter, depicting scenes from American life for the covers and pages of the most prominent publications. Rockwell is most recognized for his illustrations featured on the covers of The Saturday Evening Post from 1916 to 1963. This important exhibition will offer a multidimensional view of America across the 20th century, as seen through Rockwell’s narrative images, which continue to have a singular impact today.
As the first major exhibition in the Museum’s Center for Special Exhibitions, American Chronicles brings the art of America’s most recognized illustrator to North Carolina. Transcending generations, this exhibition provides the opportunity for all visitors, young and old, to discover and rediscover Rockwell’s reflections of 20th-century America.
