Norman Rockwell Paintings & Prints
Norman Perceval Rockwell was born on February 3, 1894, in
New York City, the first of Jarvis Waring Rockwell and Nancy
Hill's two sons. His father worked for a textile firm, starting as
office boy and eventually moving up to manager of the New York
office. His parents were very religious, and the young Rockwell
sang in the church choir. Until he was about ten years old the
family spent its summers at farms in the country. Rockwell
recalled in his autobiography (the story of his own life) My
Adventures as an Illustrator, "I have no bad memories of my
summers in the country." He believed that these summers "had a
lot to do with what I painted later on."
Rockwell enjoyed drawing at an early age and soon decided he
wanted to be an artist. During his freshman year in high school,
he also attended the Chase School on Saturdays to study art.
Later that year he attended Chase twice a week. Halfway
through his sophomore year, he quit high school and went full
time to art school.
