Norman Rockwell's Four Freedoms Further Sources

While heavily commercialized, the website for the Norman Rockwell Museum contains a wealth of information, little of it analytic or critical, but still useful especially for purposes of teaching.

Similarly, the book that accompanied the Washington, DC exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery in 2004 (Norman Rockwell's Four Freedoms: Images that inspire a nation) are full of information but their origins in the Rockwell Museum mean that the picture is unrelentingly rosy.

Probably the best single book is Norman Rockwell: Pictures for the American People, a catalogue for a very different show in 2000. While still lavish in its praise, it is also based in real research and the talents of serious art historians and critics, including the superb work of Wanda Corn.
