His death in 1978 was regarded the loss of a national icon, an artist who, like no other, celebrated the American Dream. Shunning experimentation and avant-garde techniques in favor of effective composition and relatable subject matter, Rockwell created wholesome, homely paintings with accessible and aspirational appeal. Neat, quaint, and typically jovial, his subjects included classrooms, prom scenes, and Thanksgiving feasts, while his most long-standing projects were covers for The Saturday Evening Post magazine and calendars and covers for the Boys' Life publication of the Boy Scouts of America. Imbued with optimism and patriotism, the work foregrounds classic professions such as doctor and teacher, as much as the conservative stalwarts of military, family, and faith. 600 10 $a Rockwell, Norman, $d 1894-1978 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Rockwell, Norman, $d 1894-1978. 600 17 $a Rockwell, Norman, $d 1894-1978. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00033539 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Heimann, Jim, $d 1948- 830 0 $a Basic art series 2.0. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212015912.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=00CF1484E96E11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
