    One of the most popular American artists of the past century, Norman Rockwell was a keen observer of human nature and a gifted storyteller. For nearly seven decades, Rockwell chronicled the changing society in the small details and nuanced scenes of ordinary people in everyday life, providing a personalized interpretation - albeit often an idealized one - of American identity. His depictions offered a reassuring visual haven during a time of momentous transformation as this country evolved into a complex, modern society. Rockwell's contributions to the visual legacy of many people, many of them now icons of American culture, have found a permanent place in the national psyche.
