Presenter: Janet Mandel, Arts Educator
Registration required: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hQ1JnH-XRtyQ8n9jO5WCaw
The prolific American artist and illustrator Norman Rockwell produced more than 4,000 works that chronicle not only ordinary moments from everyday life but also important social and political issues. During his lifetime Rockwell was dismissed by many serious art critics, but this talk will examine why and how he has remained a beloved American original. We will look at many of his iconic paintings, as well as at some that may surprise you.
Sponsored by the Friends of the Pennington Public Library and the Hopewell Valley Arts Council.
