Jane Oneail presents: As American as Apple Pie: Rockwell’s Images of Sports and Leisure (Virtual)

Norman Rockwell’s beloved depictions of Americans at play capture the heart of our national character through scenes of baseball games, fishing trips, swimming holes, and backyard gatherings that feel both timeless and intimately familiar. His masterful ability to find profound meaning in everyday moments of recreation reveals how sports and leisure activities serve as the stage where American values of fair play, community, and simple joy come alive. Through examining his iconic Saturday Evening Post covers and lesser-known works, this program explores how Rockwell transformed ordinary moments of American leisure into enduring symbols of our shared dreams and democratic spirit.
