Norman Rockwell (1894-1978), the iconic painter and illustrator, was from the New York City area. He lived with his family in Arlington, Vt., in 1939-1953, when they moved to Stockbridge, Mass.
Rockwell said: "Without thinking too much about it, I was showing the America I knew to others who might not have noticed. My fundamental purpose is to interpret the typical American. I am a storyteller.’’
