Among the best known works of Rockwell are: Willie Gillis series, Rosie the Riveter, Saying Grace (1951), and the Four Freedoms series.

The Google Doodle took me by surprise until my Norman Rockwell website received a huge traffic spike. It was a pretty cool experience to see my previous highs completely blown out of the water.
Rockwell deserves all the accolades, too. He was one of the most popular artists of the twentieth century. Any time a persons name becomes an adjective, he has made a huge impact on the nation’s consciousness.
Thanks for making Rockwell more popular!
