Norman Percevel Rockwell (February 3, 1894 – November 8, 1978) was a 20th-century American painter and illustrator. Rockwell painting enjoys a broad popular appeal in the United States for their reflection of American culture.
The artist transferred from high school to the Chase Art School at the age of 14. He then went on to the National Academy of Design and finally to the Art Students League.
His first major breakthrough came in 1912 at age eighteen with his first book illustration.

In 1913, the nineteen-year-old Rockwell became the art editor for Boys' Life, published by the Boy Scouts of America.

Rockwell Norman married his first wife, Irene O'Connor, in 1916. However, the couple were divorced in 1930. While staying in California he met and married schoolteacher Mary Barstow. They had three children.

He was a prolific artist, producing over 4,000 original Rockwell Norman paintings in his lifetime. Most of his works are either in public collections, or have been destroyed in fire or other misfortunes.

Norman Rockwell artwork was dismissed by serious art critics in his lifetime. Many of Norman Rockwell portrait appear overly sweet in modern critics' eyes, especially the Saturday Evening Post covers, which tend toward idealistic or sentimentalized portrayals of American life – this has led to the often-deprecatory adjective "Rockwellesque".

However, in his later years, the artist began receiving more attention as a painter when he chose more serious subjects such as the series on racism for Look magazine.

Norman Rockwell painting was exhibited at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 2001. Norman Rockwell artwork Breaking Home Ties sold for $15.4 million at a 2006 Sotheby’s auction.

During his long career, he was commissioned to paint the Norman Rockwell portraits for Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, as well as those of foreign figures, including Gamal Abdel Nasser and Jawaharlal Nehru. One of last Norman Rockwell paintings was a portrait of Judy Garland in 1969.

The museum's collection is the world's largest, including more than 700 original Rockwell paintings, drawings, and studies.
