NORMAN ROCKWELL'S SPIRIT OF THE HOLIDAYS
NEW EXHIBITION NOW ON VIEW!
Main Street at Christmas is on view as you've never seen it before!
Celebrate the season with beloved Norman Rockwell images depicting Christmas, New Years, and the winter season.
A special installation of Rockwell's iconic Stockbridge Main Street panoramic painting together with archival photos of the actual buildings, a color oil study, and the actual original magazine fold-out of the the scene - offer insight into Rockwell’s methodical process in creating a final painting.
The modern portrayal of the holidays has been defined and shaped over the last two centuries through the artistry of illustrators like Thomas Nast, J.C. Leyendecker, Norman Rockwell, and Haddon Sundblom, among others. Through drawings and paintings printed on newspapers, magazines, Christmas cards, and memorabilia over time, illustrators have firmly implanted a vision of the season within the American psyche.
