Los Angeles County Museum of Art

Los Angeles, California



The Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles, California features one Norman Rockwell in its collection.

The LA County Museum of Art, of course, is much more than just one painting, no matter how remarkable. More than 3700 works from the collection are usually available for public view.

Some of the more notable works on view include:

  • Moonlight on the Water and The Cotton Pickers by Winslow Homer,
  • The Bronco Buster (bronze) by Frederic Remington,
  • Daniel in the Lions' Den by Henry Ossawa Tanner,
  • Portrait of Richard Barrington, Later Fourth Viscount Barrington by Gilbert Stuart,
  • Portrait of Jacob Gerard Koch by Rembrandt Peale,
  • Horse's Skull with Pink Rose by Georgia O'Keeffe and
  • Portrait of Mrs. Edward L. Davis and Her Son, Livingston Davis by John Singer Sargent

And this list is only a very small sample, not even mentioning the Rockwell painting, of the fine art shown in only one gallery of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. This museum is not only worth a visit, it is worth a special trip all by itself.

The New Television Set

The sole Norman Rockwell painting in the Museum's collection is The New Television Set from 1949. This painting was originally published on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post on the November 5, 1949 issue.

The New Television Set, a 46.5 x 43 inches or 118 x 109 cm oil on canvas painting, was a gift to the Museum from Louise (Mrs. Ned) Crowell.

Mr. Ned Crowell was the West Coast district manager for the Curtis Publishing Company, the company who published the Saturday Evening Post. Rockwell gave the painting to Mr. Crowell, who was also a close friend.

An alternate title is The New Television Antenna.

The painting is not currently on display for the public to view.
