Artists: Norman Rockwell

The familiar subjects of this beloved American painter are seen by some as capturing and defining the essential elements of everyday life in the U.S. Others feel he turned bucolic images of small town America into cliches. You can learn more about Rockwell, and see examples of his work, by consulting the two websites listed below:

Norman Rockwell Museum
http://www.nrm.org/
Provides information on museum exhibits and current events.

Doug Jarret's Rockwell
http://www.sundial.net/~djarrett/dj-nr1.htm
These pages provide copious samples of the artist's work.

Artists on Artists: New Yorker Magazine

Although the popularity of The New Yorker cannot be disputed, some find the magazine condescending to the working class, off-base and out of touch. It may be hard to say what Picasso would have thought about the send-ups of his paintings used by Hachtman as cover illustrations. It's important to note that The New Yorker is not the only publication that has created "adaptations" of  Picasso's work. The Atlantic Monthly does greater justice to his life and work in the on-line website listed below:

Picasso is one of the few artists whose influence reaches into practically every major art movement of modern times. His influence on Cubism is perhaps the best-known example of his long-lasting impact. To catch a glimpse of Picasso's influence on other artists, check out the website below:
