The Photographs Norman Rockwell Used to Create His Famous Paintings

You might recognize many of the works, and even the name behind the paintings, but did you know that virtually all of the images started out as photographs? After coming up with a concept for a painting (he was almost always commissioned by magazines and ad agencies), Rockwell would enlist the help of a photographer (he rotated between a group of them) to turn that idea into a photo.

The subjects in the photos were his friends and neighbors. Once the photograph was made, Rockwell then used his artistic talents combined with simple tracing to translate that photograph into the painting he had in mind. Rockwell never painted freehand. NPR has published a fascinating article and radio segment on this story containing behind-the-scenes photos and more details on Rockwell’s process.
