The 1930s and 40s are considered to be Rockwell’s most fruitful years it was in this time that he and his second wife and their three sons lived in Arlington, Vermont and he began to paint the scenes of small-town America for which he is known. At twenty-two, Rockwell painted his first cover for The Saturday Evening Post in time, he would paint 321 covers for the Post. Finding success early on life, Rockwell was commissioned for art in his teens and was hired as the art director of Boys’ Life, the Boy Scouts of America publication. When he left high school in 1910, Rockwell studied at the National Academy of Deign, and then at the Art Students League where he studied with Thomas Fogarty and George Bridgman.
From his youth, Rockwell knew he wanted to be an artist, enrolling in art classes at the New York School of Art (formerly the Chase School of Art) at fourteen years old. Born in New York City in 1894, Norman Rockwell is one of the most renowned artist of American culture and life.
