Category: Museum Exhibits

Many of Norman Rockwell’s Saturday Evening Post covers during the 1940s were inspired by life on the American Homefront during World War II. Rockwell’s powerful Four Freedoms, unforgettable Rosie the Riveter, exuberant Homecoming Soldier, and hapless but lovable infantryman, Willie Gillis are among the many memorable images contained in this exhibition of original tearsheets featuring 44 Rockwell illustrations for The Saturday Evening Post.
