Several years ago I had the awesome opportunity to check out the Norman Rockwell museum in Stockbridge Massachusetts (twice!). The experience was simply amazing and the gallery displays the largest collection of Rockwell in the world. All the classics are there and the presentations really set the tone for his work. During the summer months you can even check out his studio. Rockwell would often compose profile paintings and the visit to the museum was another reminder of how telling a character’s profile can be. So if you’re ever wandering around the north east, give it a look.
And watch out for Vermont.
