Norman Rockwell

Norman Rockwell was an incredible artist. He was not always respected as an illustrator, but his nostalgic images of small town America were incredibly popular as they graced the covers of the Saturday Evening Post. His Four Freedoms series was particularly popular. Initially the work was rejected by the US government when Rockwell pitched the series, but after seeing the final works and how popular the posters were in the post, the US ordered 2.5 million copies.
