Norman Rockwell

Known for: cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post; the "Four Freedoms" (1943)

Norman Rockwell spent 47 years as the cover illustrator for The Saturday Evening Post, producing 323 covers that constituted the most widely reproduced images of American domestic life in the twentieth century. His "Four Freedoms" paintings (1943), commissioned by the government and reproduced in the Post and on posters for the war bond campaign, raised $132 million. His later work for Look magazine addressed civil rights and social division with a directness absent from his earlier idealized imagery.
