Norman Rockwell is a very famous painter of humorous American life. The media he worked with was oil paints; it was amazing the detail he could paint with this inarticulate media. His works show vignettes of American life during the early to mid-twentieth century. He illustrated The Saturday Evening Post for 47 consecutive years, painting a classic American scene every week.

His self-portrait is nearly a caricature, showing him looking into a mirror over his canvas, with a pipe in his mouth, and I think a dog lying at his feet.

Another famous painting shows a group of boys racing to the lake in the woods, stripping their clothes and shoes as they run, dog racing alongside excitedly, the sign in the background, "No swimming." Every painting is filled with details that increase the humor of the scene.

He had three children: Jarvis Waring, Thomas Rhodes and Peter Barstow

This painting appeared on the Saturday Evening Post cover of March 15, 1958, so it was probably pointed sometime late in the year 1957. I'm not sure what the lead time was then, but is at least two to three months from the finished painting to the magazine publication date, and often longer.

Roughly, Gothic architecture, mainly in churches and cathedrals, has arches that come to a bit of a point at the top, steeply-pitched stone roofs (previous architecture had flatter wood roofs that would burn and collapse into the church), and had interior outer aisles with clerestory windows up high, and also vaulted ceilings whose crossings feature groined 'joints'.

I have 11 of the 12 Norman Rockwell's "Rediscovered Women" collection. All are in excellant condition, but have no boxes or certificate of authenticity. These have been passed down from my Grandmother , to my dad, then to me. What is the current value of the plates?

The Rediscovered Women collection consists of 12 limited edition plates and generally sells in the $300 range. Plates should have their boxes and matching certificates.

Rockwell was a modern realist painter. That is, he used the "new" technology that was available to him, photography, plus other theatrical tools. Since most of his models were not professional, but "common folk", he couldn't expect them to pose for hours while he painted them. Using photography to catch details like shoes and socks (check out the detail in his paintings of shoes and socks!), he was able to work on his schedule and not the model's. His technique was mostly classical but he didn't hesitate to break the rules of the day. The academic snobbishness of the more modern, abstract and impressionist afficionados, contributed to the labeling of him as a "mere illustrator". This, too, was fueled by his success and popularity. Artists tend to resent their peers who are financially successful by making snide remarks about others. When abstract art was very popular in the 1960-1970s, the realists said rather horrible things about them. In fact, as a realist painter myself, I tend to make sarcastic remarks about abstract artists as "scribblers" with "little talent"...but at least I know where that comes from.

Norman Rockwell created many famous paintings. One of his works which is considered by many to be his masterpiece is a series of four paintings illustrating the Four Freedoms, as told by Franklin Roosevelt. "The Freedom of Speech", "The Freedom of Worship", "The Freedom from Want" and "The Freedom from Fear" - over four million posters were printed by the Saturday Evening Post by the end of WWII. "The Freedom from Want" image has become emblematic of what is now known as the "Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving", and is possibly the most recognizable painting.

In Norman Rockwell's own words:

"Then, still recovering from the Four Freedoms, I painted a Boy Scout calendar, shipping it off to Brown and Bigelow in St. Paul, Minnesota, late one afternoon. And that night my studio burned to the ground.

It was my own fault. Schaef and I had attended a hunting and fishing lecture given that evening at the high school by a mutual friend, Lee Wulff. Afterward the three of us had returned to my studio and talked until about half past eleven. As we left, I leaned over to switch off the fluorescent light, and ashes must have dropped from my pipe onto the cushion on the window seat, because the next thing I knew it was one-thirty in the morning and my son Tom was banging on the bedroom door and yelling, "Pop, the studio's on fire!"

I looked out the window. A storm of flame crackled red and molten gold in the interior of the studio and rolled in a thundering cloud of sparks and smoke through the roof. The leaves of the apple tree by the driveway glinted against the surrounding darkness.

Pulling on a pair of pants and buttoning my shirt, I ran downstairs and tried the phone. Dead. The wires came across the river and through the studio. Mr. Wheaton, our hired man, rushed out of his room...and I dispatched him in the car to Walt Squires' house, a half mile up the road, to call the fire department. Then I ran outside to see if anything could be saved.

But it was no use; I couldn't get within thirty feet of the studio. After a minute the .22 and shotgun shells I'd kept in a drawer began to explode..."

and the story continues with the fire truck showing up, and saving as much as they could.............But in his next breath, Rockwell says,

"I didn't feel sad at all. Maybe I was in a state of shock. I was a bit troubled by the loss of all my pipes, but later that morning as I was poking about the ruins, several of the men in town arrived, bringing me some new pipes."

--Norman Rockwell

It appears that Norman Rockwell left The Saturday Evening Post because he wanted more freedom to illustrate current events, such as the civil rights movement, which was dear to his heart. (The Post at the time required that African Americans could be seen only in service positions in drawings.)

I have plates in their original boxes and certificates, they were left to me by my mother - I cn not use them and would like to find their worth and possibly sell them. Where can I find their worth?

Norman Rockwell was born on February 3, 1894 and died on November 8, 1978. Norman Rockwell would have been 84 years old at the time of death or 121 years old today.

Norman Rockwell accomplished much through his artwork but he also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 (Highest award for a civilian). In my opinion his "achievements" were not the amount of pieces of artwork (>4000) or the awards but the impact that he had on America and other artists. He captured controversial American topics in a snapshot (like civil rights) as well as everyday life

Edward Hopper is one of the most famous American painters of the twentieth century. Edward Hopper was not just an objective realist but he dealt with emotion and mood, trying to show strong person frame of mind or "mood" often more important to him then the narrate imagery. During the time when he was working and selling his work he was pretty successful. His early years as an artist, Hopper had a hard time being accepted by art buyers and critics. Not until 10 years later would his art and fame began to grow. In 1913, when Hopper was 31 years old had his first exhibit at the Armory Show. Where he sold his first painting for around $30 to $45 dollars. Hopper sold his second painting in 1923 when he was 41 years old. This painting was a watercolor. After this point, we begin to see Hoppers popularity growing and a few years later Hopper has is first solo show in Rehn Gallery in New York City, were it was sold out!

"This time in America history the dollar was worth more, so keep that in mind when reading."

The average price's on his paintings in the earlier part of the 20th century "middle and later part of the 1920's and 1940's", varied between $100 to $300 dollars dependent on the painting. As well in the 1950's Hopper sold a paintings around 6,000 to 7,000 dollars… And at this point Hopper was viewed as a big time artist in American and very soon the world. After the 1950's his paintings became very price and closer to 1/4 of a million. Now, Hopper's average prices rang today varies form painting to painting but the upper wards of $30 million dollars and up. Hoppers paintings are made legendary by the solitude and self-introspection of a culture, which is now thought of as one of the most accurate and honest descriptions of American culture and art of the 20th century.

I've seen these sell at auction for $10-20 each.
