TELFAIR MUSEUMS PRESENTED NORMAN ROCKWELL & PEERS: ILLUSTRATING CHILDHOOD
Telfair Museums debuted its new exhibit, Norman Rockwell & Peers: Illustrating Childhood, on Oct. 11, 2024, and it will run through Jan. 5, 2025 at the Jepson Center, 207 W. York Street. Celebrating the charming, wholesome, and seemingly commonplace, Rockwell enjoyed a successful career, which unfolded against a string of era-defining crises and revolutions, including two World Wars, the Great Depression, struggles over Civil Rights, and space exploration. Through illustration, Rockwell and his peers chronicled the transformation and challenging of ideals in the 20th-century, sometimes using childhood to explore complex subject matter. By tapping into American adults’ nostalgia and their associations of childhood with innocence, these artists made subjects from consumer goods to wartime politics more appealing.
