NORMAN ROCKWELL (1894-1978). In 1916, illustrator Norman Rockwell sold his first cover to The Saturday Evening Post, for which, in the next 47 years, he illustrated 322 magazine covers. From 1926 to 1976, Rockwell also illustrated the official Boy Scout Calendar.
During World War II, posters of his paintings portraying the "Four Freedoms" were reproduced and distributed by the Office of War Information. Rockwell was a careful craftsman with an ability to represent detail realistically. The subjects of most of his illustrations were taken from everyday family and small-town life and were often treated with a touch of humor.
In 1977, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Ford, the nation's highest peacetime award.
