Delores Hydock Presents Every Picture Tells a Story

Every Picture Tells a Story: The Storytelling of Norman Rockwell

Norman Rockwell didn’t just paint pictures; each of his paintings told a story. This program shares a behind-the-
scenes look at how Rockwell created his one-image stories in some of his best-loved covers for The Saturday Evening Post.
This program describes Rockwell’s early career, his first surprising encounter with the editors of The Saturday
Evening Post, and the techniques he used in his long and successful career as an illustrator and artist. Slide
images of his sketches, models, paintings-in-process, and finished work provide insight into the step-by-step
process Rockwell used in becoming “America’s painter” – and storyteller on canvas.
