The Norman Rockwell Museum has a new exhibition exploring the business and cultural context of Rockwell’s art. "Norman Rockwell: The Business of Illustrating the American Dream" examines how Rockwell navigated relationships with publishers, advertising clients, and other business entities to create work that shaped and reflected American culture and influenced notions of the American Dream.

In 1940, America’s favorite illustrator Norman Rockwell, his wife Mary and their three sons moved to the picturesque rural village of West Arlington, Vermont. The artist discovered a treasure trove of models. S.T. Haggerty's "Norman Rockwell’s Models: In and out of the Studio" is the first to detail these models’ lives, friendships with the artist, and experiences in his studio.

We go now to the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts to discuss a pair of exhibits on display during this holiday season. “Norman Rockwell’s Spirit of the Holidays” and “Eloise and More: The Life and Art of Hilary Knight” each celebrate illustration and will excite art fans of all ages.

The Lincoln Memorial Centennial Exhibition: The Lincoln Memorial Illustrated at the Norman Rockwell Museum highlights the work of illustrators and artists who have incorporated the Lincoln Memorial into their art as a symbolic element – an instantly-recognizable icon upon which to build meaning. Approximately fifty historical and contemporary artworks by noted illustrators and cartoonists will be featured, as will archival photographs, sculptural elements, artifacts, and ephemera. We welcome Norman Rockwell Museum Director Laurie Norton Moffatt and Curator Stephanie Plunkett.

Look, which was published from 1937 to 1971 and had about 35 million readers at its peak, was an astute observer with a distinctive take on one of the greatest eras in U.S. history—from winning World War II and building immense, increasingly inclusive prosperity to celebrating grand achievements and advancing the rights of Black and female citizens. In his new book, "Look: How a Highly Influential Magazine Helped Define Mid-Twentieth-Century America," Andrew L. Yarrow tells the story of Look magazine, one of the greatest mass-circulation publications in American history, and the very different United States in which it existed.

Until last week my knowledge of the Berkshire Museum was limited to the controversial 2018 sale of many of the gems in its painting collection. They included Norman Rockwell’s “Shuffleton’s Barbershop,” a gift to the museum from Norman Rockwell himself. Over fifty million dollars worth of art was sold to keep the museum’s doors open, build its endowment and renovate.
