As with many successful artists, Rockwell was an undoubted perfectionist which perhaps was one of his secrets of success. However it did impede some of his early career where professional deadlines would be more of an issue for an artist who was just starting to get a name for himself. Some would grow frustrated by his unability to produce work quickly and as such he was always going to be more suited to the latter stages of his career where he could call the shots and have entire control over artistic direction and timeframes for delivery.

Rockwell's actual first published magazine cover was entitled Scout at Ship's Wheel and appeared in Boys' Life, September 1913. At that point, few could have realised the achievements that the artist was later to reach through a varied and expansive career of art. To have his own Norman Rockwell Museum today underlines the claim that he is one of the most important 20th century American artists.

The career of Rockwell was to total some 4,000 by it's end with is an achievement in itself. Typically he was an artist who some art critics loved whilst others would refer to him rudely as just an illustrator and no more. Rockwell was strong willed enough not to take an awful lot of notice of any of it, and he would be pleased to see how the public continue to enjoy his work even today.

Norman Rockwell was so respected that he received commissions for portraits of four American presidents, namely Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon which is a huge honour for any patriotic American artist. He also painted many other celebrities as well inclding Judy Garland. These works, however significant in his career, are still overshadowed by more popular works in the eyes of the public.

The legacy of Rockwell is shown in the multitude of ways that his works have been incorporated into other media ever since, including many major films such as The Polar Express, Funny Farm, Lilo & Stitch and Forrest Gump. Several high level celebrities in America have also found the opportunity to purchase some of his ever increasily valuable original paintings. George Lucas owns Rockwell's original of The Peach Crop, for example, plus Steven Spielberg owns a sketch of Rockwell's Triple Self-Portrait.

From his first Scouting calendar in 1925, to Beyond the Easel, 1969 Rockwell will always have a very strong link to the scouting movement which contributed to his career in many ways. It was something he was passionate about, and also provided him opportunities to show off his creativity from an early stage in his career when he was still getting to understand himself as an artist and to decide what route he wanted to go in the future.

At one stage in his career, Rockwell had the incredible achievement of having had his original paintings being reproduced on more occasions that Rembrandt, Michelangelo and Picasso combined. That is in part aided by his American nationality which immediately helps with their command of the media world, but is certainly impressive none the less. Amongst the celebrities he covered were Bing Crosby, Bertrand Russell and President Eisenhower. It was around the 1950s and 1960s that the artist began to consistently produce portraits of well known people, as it was now that they became aware of his talents.

Norman Rockwell produced a long list of classic works during his career, with many available to buy as prints online. See below for a brief list of some of the artist's most famous.

As Rockwell's career carried on progressing, so did his productivity as an oil painting artist. He managed to reach the stage of creating a work each day as the passion and energy of his work seemed limitless. He was also never frightened to attack different subjects in order to keep his work fresh and interesting. In some ways his career was similar to Andy Warhol in that initial professional success with illustrations for magazines led to artistic license and achievement later on.

As with many artists, Rockwell was obsessive about keeping control over the settings for his works, creating scenes with great detailed planning so that the paintings which he would create from them were interesting, of high quality and also captured what was already in his mind. Jack Vettriano is a Scottish artist who takes similar care when planning a new piece of work which perhaps neither could do early in their careers when finance was not sufficient to back this ambition or simply that they did not have the confidence to behave as bold directors.

Norman Rockwell paintings typically hold charm and charater within their subjects, often within unusual settings that other artists would not normally address. The paintings would normally feel very real and get across a great sense of fun to the viewer which is immediately accessible to most. His work was also very American in subject and style helping him to establish himself very strongly across his native country. Rockwell was an artist who could connect with the audience whilst others often only appealed to an elite minority.

As art has become more for the people and less for the elite throughout the 20th century and rise of contemporary art, artists such as Norman Rockwell have become accepted and loved regardless of views from art academics.

Small elements such as free galleries and museums in world cities such as London have also helped to further empower the common person.

The Norman Rockwell Museum is based in America, close to his resting place. It was founded in 1969 and continues to stock the largest collection of his paintings. It is also in the area that many of his originals were created too. The Museum continues to strive to carefully expose the public to his work in the right way and ensure that his legacy is strong, positive and accurate.
