Dear Friends of Museum,

As a child model for Norman Rockwell, I had no idea that I would one day assume leadership of the Museum board—this have been a tremendous honor for me. My affection and admiration for Rockwell are deeply rooted, and have served me well in supporting this museum­—a treasured Berkshire landmark. The Board of Trustees takes seriously its role of preserving and funding this iconic collection; we have been amazed and delighted to witness the meteoric rise in Rockwell’s appreciation, as demonstrated by the stunning rise in auction prices over this past year. But this is not the true measure of the man’s work—through our traveling exhibitions and digital collections, Rockwell’s images continue to touch lives across the globe. We must continue to make the works available beyond the Berkshires. President Anne Morgan I am quick to recognize the unswerving dedication of my fellow trustees; this board has and Chairman Emeritus demonstrated its ability to give generously and to lead thoughtfully. My immediate predecessor, Thomas L. Pulling. Tom Pulling set an exemplary standard when he took on the Chairmanship four years ago; that torch is now handed on to Robert Horvath as incoming Chairman, and to Alice Carter as incoming President. Bob and Alice, both artists, collectors, illustrators, and experts in American art, will dedicate themselves to growing the collection and preserving the field. We are grateful to our creative, industrious, and inventive staff who continue to demonstrate their optimism and resourcefulness under the leadership of their remarkable and steadfast Director, Laurie Norton Moffatt. Lastly, I want to express my deepest appreciation for the many donors and friends of the Museum who have given again and again... and again with increasing generosity each year, ensuring the Museum’s success: you are the lifeblood of the institution. It will be my delight to watch the burgeoning passion for Norman Rockwell result in a strong Berkshire presence, with global accessibility to his magnificent work.

Sincerely,

Anne H. Morgan, Chairman Atlanta, GA

4 director’s report

Dear Friends,

What a great and exciting two years we have had; a period with significant milestones marking the importance of Norman Rockwell’s artistic and cultural contributions to our nation. Unprecedented press interest; record-setting auction prices for his iconic works; discovery of hidden Rockwell art; a highly-regarded and controversial biography; commemorative anniversaries of the Civil Rights Movement, to which we lent important works; ongoing acclaim for our traveling exhibition, American Chronicles; continued requests for loans and exhibitions, both home and abroad—these events are testimonials to the enduring influence and importance of this great American artist we are privileged to steward. It has been an equally exciting year for American illustration art across the nation. The gift of the magnificent Collection, donated by Magdalen and Robert Livesey; the Frank Retiring COO, Terry Smith, E. Schoonover Catalogue Raisonné, donated by the Frank E. Schoonover Fund, joining the Rockwell and Director/CEO Laurie Center for American Visual Studies; the success of our traveling illustration exhibitions; the Norton Moffatt Illustration History website, funded with a grant from the NEA; hundreds of gifts of artworks to the Museum’s permanent collection; continued digitizing of collections; soaring auction prices for American illustration art; and the announcement of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, centered around filmmaker ’ important collection of illustration art—all attest to the appreciation and importance of preserving and sharing American illustration. Norman Rockwell Museum’s leadership is central to fostering the collective stewardship of this vital aspect of our nation’s visual culture. None of this would be possible without the dedicated support of our members and friends. We continue to make strong strides in strengthening our financial foundation, and are close to achieving a balanced budget: a goal since the beginning of the recession several years ago. I thank our Board of Trustees, under the leadership of board chairs Thomas Pulling and Anne Morgan, and President Robert Horvath; who upheld the hallmarks of our Museum, embodying Norman Rockwell’s values of kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and friendship, all with a good dose of humor and personal generosity. I thank our staff for the outstanding work they do, most especially with serving the public through our exhibitions and programs—they are the face of the Museum. Their graciousness and hospitality ensure that our visitors, whether in person, over the phone or internet, and at other venues where our art is exhibited, enjoy the contributions of Norman Rockwell and our great American illustrators. A special thank-you to Terry Smith, the Museum’s chief operating officer, who retired this summer from the position he has held since 2004. His responsibilities included oversight of the Museum’s finances and business office, store and warehouse operations, technology, safety and security, facilities and grounds, and human resources—he has steered this portfolio of services beautifully during his decade of service to the Museum. Terry’s affable, calm, unflappable manner; his quiet leadership from behind-the-scenes; his caring way with our staff; and his eagle eye on our budget and finances, will be greatly missed. As the Museum celebrates its 45th Anniversary year, we thank Terry for his stewardship for nearly a quarter of our history. Cheers… and onward to Norman Rockwell Museum’s 50th Anniversary!

Most sincerely,

Laurie Norton Moffatt Director CEO September 2014

5 Telling America’s Story through the Art of Norman Rockwell and America’s Illustrators­—Shaping National Conversation on American Illustration Art (1969 – 2014)

Norman Rockwell Museum tells America’s story. From soaring ideals of freedom and social justice, to heartwarming and humorous moments of the commonplace—America’s illustrators defined the story of our nation and her people, and none more so than Norman Rockwell. Since the advent of mass media art, which burgeoned during the time of the Civil War, America’s illustrators have chronicled our human triumphs and tragedies, ingenuity, and inventions; and our hopes and aspirations. American illustration art records our history from ’s scenes of the Civil War to ’s Colonial Revival of the American Revolution, to Norman Rockwell’s inspirational and Civil Rights Movement images, which embody the very essence of our democratic ideals of freedom and social justice. Rockwell’s works have recently been exhibited in museums across the nation (Mississippi Museum of Art; Newark Museum; Frist Art Center; Museum; and the White House), during this 50th anniversary commemoration of the Civil Rights Movement.

40 In Memoriam

Jane Pratt Fitzpatrick 1923- 2013

Jane Pratt Fitzpatrick, early founding trustee of The Old Corner House, trustee emerita of Norman Rockwell Museum, and beneficent civic leader to Stockbridge and all the Berkshires, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, November 9, 2013, just nine days shy of her 90th birthday. Elegant, strong, smart, and generous, Jane was a force of good in the world. In addition to founding Country Curtains with her late husband, Senator John H. “Jack”’ Fitzpatrick, and restoring The Red Lion Inn to its central place of hospitality and civic life in Stockbridge, Jane was an active leader in dozens of cultural and community organizations during her long and productive life. Jane always stood as a mentor and beacon of light and optimism, and was a great believer that all was possible. She and Jack gave generously to the community, served selflessly, and helped everyone. They were good friends of Norman and Molly Rockwell, and both of them modeled for him in several paintings. In recent years they donated their beautiful Rockwell painting The Cobbler, to the Museum. The Fitzpatrick descendants carry on the great tradition of Jane and Jack, including support of Norman Rockwell Museum. Nancy and her husband Lincoln serve on the Museum’s National Council. Ann served as trustee and recently was named trustee emerita, and now her grandson, Alexander, carries on the family tradition as a trustee of the Museum. Jane lived a long and bountiful life - may her spirit be carried in our hearts forever.

41 In Memoriam

Norma Greer Ogden 1921- 2013

Norma Greer Ogden was a strong-willed, civic-minded citizen of Stockbridge who, in the 1960’s, became engaged in the preservation of an old house situated at the prominent intersection of Main and Elm Street. The structure was in danger of being commercialized, when she and such like-minded residents as Patricia Deely, Rosamund Sherwood, and Molly Rockwell, formed a group to buy the property and convert it into a town museum, incorporated in 1969 as the “Old Corner House —­ Stockbridge Historical Society.” Having the building in hand, they next faced the challenge of what to do with it. The suggestion was made that mutual friend and neighbor, Norman Rockwell might hang some of his paintings on the otherwise bare walls, and that admission might be charged to see them. Norman agreed and, over time, crowds literally lined the streets to gain entry. The Old Corner House was bursting at the seams, and another dream was born. With the added drive and determination of Lila W. Berle and Jane P. Fitzpatrick, the Old Corner House eventually evolved into the “new,” world-class Norman Rockwell Museum on Route 183 that opened in 1993. Now celebrating its 45th anniversary, the Museum honors Norma and her co-founders, while applauding the succeeding generations who continue to build upon and further expand their inspired vision.

Diane Disney Miller 1933-2013

Diane Disney Miller, eldest daughter of animator Walt Disney, passed away on Tuesday, November 19, 2013, at her home in Napa Valley, California. A co-founder of the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, Diane was instrumental in preserving the legacy of her famous father throughout her own life. As two of the most iconic American visual storytellers of the twentieth century, Norman Rockwell and Walt Disney enjoyed a mutual admiration and friendship throughout their careers—the two artists exchanged gifts; and as a child, Diane and her sister Sharon (1936-1993) sat for portrait sketches created by Rockwell for her famous father. In 1999, Diane generously donated the original Norman Rockwell painting, Girl Reading the Post (1941) to Norman Rockwell Museum—Rockwell’s cover illustration for the March 1, 1941 issue of The Saturday Evening Post, had originally been gifted to the Disney family by the artist in 1943, with the inscription, “To Walt Disney, one of the really great artists from an admirer, Norman Rockwell.” In 2008, Diane and her husband, Ron Miller joined Norman Rockwell Museum’s National Council, and we have benefitted greatly from the couple’s insight and support over the years (Ron continues to serve on the Council). In 2013, the Museum was honored to present the work of Walt Disney side-by-side with Norman Rockwell through the exhibition, Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs: The Creation of a Classic, which examined the development of the animator’s first feature-length film, and was organized by the Walt Disney Family Museum, which Diane helped found in 2009. Diane was president of the board of the Walt Disney Family Foundation, whose mission is to ensure that her father, and not just his company, is remembered—we are forever grateful for her lifelong generosity.

42 In Memoriam

Cynthia Ide Rockwell 1936-2013

Beloved wife, mother and friend Cynthia (Cinny) Ide Rockwell passed away on April 28, 2013 at home in Rome, Italy. Cinny went to The Putney School in Vermont, where she met Norman Rockwell’s youngest son, Peter Rockwell—the couple were married in 1958, and in 1962 moved to Italy. Cinny was very close to her father-in-law, and often shared stories and memories about him. Norman and Molly frequently visited Peter and Cinny in Rome, where they have resided all of their adult lives. Cinny served as a trustee of Norman Rockwell Museum for nearly a decade. During those pivotal years, she helped steer the Museum’s path to embrace more fully the illustration arts, and was influential in the shaping of the Rockwell Center for American Visual Studies. Cinny and Peter traveled extensively with the Museum’s first traveling exhibition, Pictures for the American People, serving as strong champions of the work of the Museum. In 1974 Cinny started working for the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) in Rome. Over the years she was responsible for setting up their publications unit, produced newsletters, conference proceedings, training materials and books in multiple languages. Working for ICCROM she developed a specialization in translating works about restoration. Cinny is survived by her husband Peter; children Geoffrey, Thomas, John and Mary; and grandchildren Peter, Alethea, Mateo and Lucia. The Museum will always cherish its memories and friendship with this remarkable woman.

Dr. Beurt SerVaas 1919 – 2014

Dr. Beurt SerVaas enjoyed a long and brilliant career as an entrepreneur and dedicated public servant in his beloved home of Indianapolis. Norman Rockwell Museum was also honored by his friendship and membership on the NRM Board of Trustees 1986-1992. This was a fitting connection, since Dr. SerVaas had rescued the historic Saturday Evening Post from the failing Curtis Publishing Company in 1970, moving the business from Philadelphia to Indiana. Dr. SerVaas, with his wife and publisher, Dr. Cory SerVaas, revitalized The Post, which was already renowned for its covers by Norman Rockwell, who contributed over 300 paintings during his more than 50-year career with the magazine, including such enduring illustrations as The Four Freedoms, Triple Self-Portrait, The Runaway, and Marbles Champion. His daughter, Joan SerVaas, continued the family legacy of service as a trustee, 1992- 1998, and remains in close dialogue with the Museum, a testament to the solidarity of Curtis Publishing, established by Dr. SerVaas, and the enduring popularity of Norman Rockwell.
