N orman Rockwell

N orman Rockwell

Rockwell's illustrations almost defined America in the middle part of the 20th century; they certainly helped define Scouting. His career spanned nearly the whole history of the Boy Scouts to date, encompassing an age during which both America and the Boy Scouts grew immensely, a period, as Rockwell wrote, "when America believed in itself. I was happy to be painting it." The artist died in 1978 at the age of 84.

In the sixties, Rockwell's focus broadened to include many more minority and foreign Scouts. His calendar paintings for the world jamboree years of 1963 and 1967 both depicted Scouts of various nations joyously united.
"The common places of America are to me the richest subjects in art," he once said. "Boys batting flies on vacant lots; girls playing jacks on front steps; old men plodding home at twilight; all these arouse feelings in me."
In his more than 2,000 artworks Norman Rockwell created a pictorial history of his times and illuminated the lives of his fellow Americans with gifted warmth and insight.

He had the unique capacity to communicate with people of all ages, and his work has been reproduced more often than Michelangelo, Picasso and Rembrandt put together.
