Norman Rockwell's birthday was on February 3rd, 1894. Although a New York City native, Rockwell moved to Stockbridge, Massachusetts in the early 1950's. Rockwell first began his art career creating Christmas cards as a teenager and gradually moved up to designing magazine covers in his twenties. He also is widely known for his "Four Freedoms" paintings which were featured in The Saturday Evening Post in 1943. Rockwell created a museum from his studio in Massachusetts known as the Norman Rockwell Museum at Stockbridge.
Here is a link to the official museum website that includes information, pictures, directions, and anything else you could ever want to know about Rockwell.
