Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) Norman Rockwell Norman Percevel Rockwell was born on February 3, 1894, in a Manhattan brownstone. His father was a New York City textile company executive who sometimes copied drawings for his own amusement. His mother was a chronic invalid whose father was an artist sometimes reduced to house painting. There were two children; the elder son Jarvis, a strapping athlete, and Norman, who was small for his age and had to wear eyeglasses and corrective shoes.

Norman Rockwell's art has a distinct American flavor. His characters are the people who live in everyone's hometown. Rockwell died in 1978 at his home in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. On his easel was an unfinished painting of a Christian missionary trying to convert a Stockbridge Indian chief.
