Norman Rockwell: Inclusion, Exclusion and Evolving Views on Race

The illustrator Norman Rockwell is beloved for his ability to depict and define American life. He often captured bittersweet images of people experiencing universal and relatable feelings of being left out or left behind. Yet, as an artist working in the 20th century, his works are curiously devoid of America’s rich cultural and racial diversity. In the final decades of his career, Rockwell painted several poignant works about race in America that can be seen as an extension of his earlier sense of the power of inclusion and exclusion.
