Posted: 08/24/2015 4:34 pm EDT Updated: 08/24/2015 4:59 pm EDT "Peach Crop," American Magazine, 1935 (Courtesy Norman Rockwell Family Agency) Was Norman Rockwell an artist or an illustrator? My initial thought is, "Isn't every illustrator an artist?" Yet the debate continues -- especially when it comes to Norman Rockwell. The modern take on illustration is much too limited. A reevaluation of the medium through history is called for. Thomas Buechner, director of the Brooklyn Museum, published his monumental book on Rockwell and his work in 1970: "Norman Rockwell may not be important as an artist -- whatever that is -- but he has given us a body of work which is unsurpassed in the richness and variety of its subject matter and in the professionalism -- often brilliant -- of its execution. Unlike many of his colleagues (painters with publishers instead of galleries) he lives in and for his work and so he makes it important." This statement is contradictory at best. It is the kind of ambivalence and confusion that follow my grandfather's work to this day. But Buechner then goes on to make an appeal that "illustration should be considered an aspect of the fine arts." Admittedly, it is Rockwell himself who kept publicly pronouncing, "I'm not a fine arts man, I'm an illustrator." Two separate and distinct worlds and sensibilities.

  • Biography New.Pdf
    A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF NORMAN ROCKWELL “Without thinking too much about it in specific terms, I was showing the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed.” Norman Rockwell Born in New York City in 1894, Norman Rockwell always wanted to be an artist. At the age of fourteen, Rockwell enrolled in art classes at the New York School of Art (formerly the Chase School of Art). In 1910, at the age of 16, he left high school to study art at the National Academy of Design. He soon transferred to the Art Students League, where he studied with Thomas Fogarty and George Bridgman. Fogarty’s instruction in illustration prepared Rockwell for his first commercial commissions. From Bridgman, Rockwell learned the technical skills on which he relied throughout his long career. Rockwell found success early. He painted his first commission of four Christmas cards before his sixteenth birthday. While still in his teens, he was hired as art director of Boys’ Life, the official publication of the Boy Scouts of America, and began a successful freelance career illustrating a variety of young people’s publications. At age 21, Rockwell’s family moved to New Rochelle, New York, a community whose residents included such famous illustrators as J.C. and Frank Leyendecker and Howard Chandler Christy. There, Rockwell set up a studio with the cartoonist Clyde Forsythe and produced work for such magazines as Life, Literary Digest and Country Gentleman. In 1916, the 22-year-old Rockwell painted his first cover for The Saturday Evening Post, the magazine considered by Rockwell to be the “greatest show window in America.” Over the next 47 years, another 321 Rockwell covers would appear on the cover of the Post.

  • “BY POPULAR DEMAND”: the HERO in AMERICAN ART, C. 1929-1945
    “BY POPULAR DEMAND”: THE HERO IN AMERICAN ART, c. 1929-1945 By ©2011 LARA SUSAN KUYKENDALL Submitted to the graduate degree program in Art History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Charles C. Eldredge, Ph.D. ________________________________ David Cateforis, Ph.D. ________________________________ Marni Kessler, Ph.D. ________________________________ Chuck Berg, Ph.D. ________________________________ Cheryl Lester, Ph.D. Date Defended: April 11, 2011 The Dissertation Committee for LARA SUSAN KUYKENDALL certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: “BY POPULAR DEMAND”: THE HERO IN AMERICAN ART, c. 1929-1945 ________________________________ Chairperson Charles C. Eldredge, Ph.D. Date approved: April 11, 2011 ii Abstract During the 1930s and 1940s, as the United States weathered the Great Depression, World War II, and dramatic social changes, heroes were sought out and created as part of an ever-changing national culture. American artists responded to the widespread desire for heroic imagery by creating icons of leadership and fortitude. Heroes took the form of political leaders, unionized workers, farmers, folk icons, historical characters, mothers, and women workers. The ideas they manifest are as varied as the styles and motivations of the artists who developed them. This dissertation contextualizes works by such artists as Florine Stettheimer, Philip Evergood, John Steuart Curry, Palmer Hayden, Dorothea Lange, Norman Rockwell, and Aaron Douglas, delving into the realms of politics, labor, gender, and race. The images considered fulfilled national (and often personal) needs for pride, confidence, and hope during these tumultuous decades, and this project is the first to consider the hero in American art as a sustained modernist visual trope.

The family of Norman Rockwell has entrusted the collection of 72 pieces by Rockwell and a number of other notable illustrators to the Museum for conservation manage­ ment and exhibition. The collection includes paintings, drawings and sketches which Rockwell collected for himself. Seventeen pieces from this collec­ tion make up the new exhibit. Family portraits and pictures done on his travels form the core of the exhibit, which spans 41 years of Rockwell's career-from the finely drawn illus­ trations for "The Most Beloved Ameri­ can Writer," the story of Louisa May Alcott, in 1937, to the vibrantly colored oils of Wyoming and Norway in the early 1970s. Because most of the pieces were done for pleasure, not an anxiously waiting magazine editor, the exhibit shows an intensely personal side of Rockwell's art.

  • IDEALISM and ART the Above Excerpts Are Drawn from One of My
    Jennifer Foster MFA Thesis/Portfolio Goddard College 18 November 2018 IDEALISM AND ART “The sculptor turns from the marble to his model in order to perfect his conception. We are all sculptors, working at various forms, moulding and chiseling thought. Do you not hear from all mankind of the imperfect model? The world is holding it before your gaze continually. To remedy this, we must first turn our gaze in the right direction, and then walk that way. We must form perfect models in thought and look at them continually, or we shall never carve them out in grand and noble lives.” Mary Baker Eddy The above excerpts are drawn from one of my favorite passages in Eddy’s textbook on healing, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (248). I have always loved that ​ ​ concept: “We are all sculptors . ” As we co-create the world we want to live in, it is so important to regularly examine the models or ideals we are beholding. Lately, I’ve been giving thought to the vital need our society has to improve its ideals. I’ve also been noticing many of the wonderful ways artists have contributed positively to help us all “turn our gaze in the right direction.” When the popular superhero movie Black Panther was released in February 2018, I ​ ​ noted the many articles and news reports that focused on the ways this film—featuring a majority black cast, strong female warriors, and a brilliantly advanced African nation —was inspiring viewers of all races: focusing thought on more elevated views of what is (and of what is possible) artistically, commercially and politically.
