“Norman Rockwell’s Westchester” is the subject of Kendal’s next lecture presentation.
The images of America’s most popular illustrator Norman Rockwell have been reproduced more than those of any other artist. His perfectly detailed portrayals of Americana illustrated 322 Saturday Evening Post covers, 49 Boy Scout calendars, and dozens of other periodicals, children's books, and advertisements.
He was the master illustrator of life in America. For the first 25 years of his formidable career, Norman Rockwell’s America was New Rochelle, where he lived and worked. In an illustrated slideshow, Westchester County Historical Society Co-Director and New Rochelle’s City Historian Barbara Davis will discuss the great illustrator’s early years in Mamaroneck and the two and half decades he spent in New Rochelle. The presentation will take place on Monday, July 25 at 7:30 pm in the Gathering Room.
