Norman Rockwell Lithographs & Prints at Outasite!! Collectibles

One of the greatest painters in America is the renowned 20th Century artist Norman Rockwell. A child prodigy, Rockwell was first commissioned to paint four Christmas cards before he turned the ripe old age of 16. He then continued his illustrious career by being named Art Director of Boys Life and thus began his pursuit in illustration. After moving to New Rochelle, New York, he opened a studio and created illustrations for Life Magazine, Literary Digest and Country Gentleman, but his career skyrocketed when at 22 years old he painted his first cover for the Saturday Evening Post. Outasite!! Collectibles carries a nice variety of vintage Norman Rockwell prints & lithographs.
