Norman Rockwell is one of the most popular American Painter who is well known for his illustrations on the Saturday Evening Post.
He was the illustrator for this magazine for more than 40 years and one of the most popular creations from him is the Willie Gillis series. However, he was not a painter to whom much critic attention was not reached because critics believed that Norman portrayed the real life characters of United States in an unrealistic way. It was only after his death that he started receiving critical acclamations for his work. For anyone who looks at the work history of Normal Rockwell, it is quite easy to find out that he was quite successful during his career.
It was in the WWI that Rockwell wanted to join US navy where he was refused due to an underweight issue. Even though he managed to overcome this by feeding himself regularly, he was not able to fight as a soldier as the job assigned to him was of a military artist. One of the most appreciated art works from Norman Rockwell is the Four Freedoms that was inspired from a speech by Former American President Franklin D. Roosevelt. According to Roosevelt, everyone should have the freedom to speech, freedom to worship, freedom from fear and freedom from want.
Once his Four Freedoms was inaugurated, it was widely appreciated as one of the finest artworks in the world. Norman has done more than 4,000 artworks during his lifetime but unfortunately, most of them couldn’t stand against the test of time primarily because people never thought his works to be important. Most of his art collection was destroyed in natural disasters such as fire while the remaining ones are mostly in private collections. His comic figures include cartoons for Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Interestingly, he used to contribute to the National Boy Scout’s Magazine in the forms of artworks and to honor his contributions, Boy Scouts of America has given him the highest form of award, the Silver Buffalo Award.
