Masterpieces by the Sea
Norman Rockwell
The Painter of Light
This weekend the Smithsonian American Art opens an exhibition of Norman Rockwell’s work from the private collections of two major American filmmakers, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Their Rockwell pieces may be notable, but they aren't the only celebrities with a taste for fine art.
Each week, The Daily Beast scours the cultural landscape to choose three top picks. This week, two Norman Rockwell exhibits celebrate the American master, a new memoir reveals the secrets of happiness, and Guy Ritchie reimagines Sherlock Holmes.
A fascinating exhibit of the all-American master’s work reveals Rockwell’s meticulous use of photography to create his iconic paintings. VIEW OUR GALLERY.
This week, Keira Knightley makes her London stage debut, Tim McGraw has the top song of the decade, and Jamie Oliver wants America to be skinny. VIEW OUR GALLERY
