"Heroes & Homecomings: Norman Rockwell"

With Jane Oneail, independant scholar and Art Historian. 

{This program was made possible by a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities "Humanities to Go" program.}

America's most beloved illustrator, Norman Rockewell created dozens of images related to the second World War.  This program explores how Rockwell's work departs from earlier artistic interpretations of American conflicts and considers how and why he chose specific wartime themes to present to the millions of readers of the Saturday Evening Post.
