Norman Percevel Rockwell (February 3, 1894 – November 8, 1978) was an American painter and illustrator. His works are popular in the United States because they often symbolise American culture. Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations he created for The Saturday Evening Post magazine over nearly five decades. Among the best-known of Rockwell’s works are Rosie the Riveter, The Problem We All Live With, and the Four Freedoms series.
