Telling Stories: Norman Rockwell at the American Art Museum

Shadow Artist by Norman Rockwell

Telling Stories: Norman Rockwell from the Collections of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg is the first major exhibition to explore the connections between Norman Rockwell’s iconic images of American life and the movies — specifically the films of Lucas and Spielberg, who found a kindred spirit in Rockwell and his belief that ordinary people can become unlikely heroes. On display through Jan. 2, 2011. Smithsonian American Art Museum, Eighth and F Sts. NW. Free. Call 202-633-1000 or visit americanart.si.edu.
