Saturday Evening Post covers focused on family life.
Norman Rockwell became an American icon due to his long run as the cover artist for "The Saturday Evening Post." His paintings focused on everyday American family and cultural life, putting the traditional values of small town living on a pedestal. While people criticized the covers during his lifetime for being sentimental, his covers and additional Saturday Evening Post covers by other artists, such as John Philip Falter, have endured. Today, collectors can order original, framed "Saturday Evening Post" covers or reprints from the Norman Rockwell Museum and art print stores.
