The Friends of Madison Library hosts a New Hampshire Humanities program, Heroes & Homecomings: Norman Rockwell and World War II, presented by Jane Oneail on Tuesday, June 30 at 7 pm via Zoom.
America’s most beloved illustrator created dozens of images related to the second World War. What happens when an artist known for his use of humor tackles the serious subject of war? This program explores how Norman Rockwell’s work departs from earlier artistic interpretations of American conflicts and considers how and why he chose specific wartime themes to present to the millions of readers of the Saturday Evening Post.
This program is free and open to the public. It will be held via Zoom. Please register at the link below and to receive access information for the meeting.
