Thursday, February 206:30—7:30 PMCommunity Meeting RoomRye Public Library581 Washington Road., Rye, NH, 03870
Jane Oneail is back at the Rye Public Library for a discussion around Norman Rockwell and diversity. We hope you will join us!
From the NH Humanities website:
"Norman Rockwell is heralded for depicting and defining middle-class American life in the 20th century. In addition to painting funny and uplifting scenes, he often captured bittersweet images of people experiencing universal and relatable feelings of being left out or left behind. As an artist with this particular skill set, why are his works devoid of America’s rich cultural and racial diversity? Toward the end of his career, however, Rockwell painted several poignant works about race in America that can be seen as an extension of his earlier sense of the power of inclusion and exclusion. This enlightening program tracks Rockwell's commitment to painting a more diverse America. "
