Norman Rockwell (1894-1978), American painter and illustrator, best known for his magazine covers and illustrations for such prominent American periodicals as the Saturday Evening Post, the Ladies' Home Journal, and Look. Rockwell was born in New York City, and he trained there at the Art Students League. His favorite subjects were everyday events that celebrated small-town life and patriotic themes. The scenes were often humorous and executed with minute attention to detail so realistic that his paintings frequently resemble photographs.
