TELLING STORIES NORMAN ROCKWELL FROM COLL LUCAS SPIELBERG
"(A) Normal Rockwell Telling Stories, based on the Rockwell collections of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, charts the connections between Rockwell's iconic depictions of bucolic American life and the movies. Rockwell, the quintessential American mythmaker of the 20th century, touched the lives of the two most successful directors of our day. Within Rockwell's art, the fantasies and foibles of ordinary people are given life, central among them the themes of love of country, the sanctity of family, and the value of personal honor. Telling Stories accompanies an exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum."
