Living in Massachusetts has cultural advantages. We are lucky to have several high-caliber museums such as The Museum of Fine Arts, The Institute of Contemporary Art, and The Norman Rockwell Museum.
Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) became famous for his paintings and illustrations of both the simple American life and hotly contested issues of the day.
From an early age, I was interested in his work. Rockwell was beyond talented when it came to conveying expressions in a subjects face. Not to mention the depth of detail in not only the subject, but around them as well.
The museum is located in bucolic Stockbridge, in the western part of the Commonwealth. Rockwell lived here for 25 years.
