Rockwell Museum of Western ArtCorning, New YorkThe Rockwell Museum of Western Art in Corning, New York features one early Norman Rockwell painting. The Museum counts one original Norman Rockwell painting among its collection, The Buffalo Hunt from 1915. The Buffalo Hunt, a 20" x 32" oil on canvas painting, was first published as an illustration for a boys' novel, The Red Arrow in 1915. The novel was written by Elmer Russell. The caption in the books reads "The spirit of the chase had seized him, and he rode recklessly into the great company of crowding buffaloes." Four illustrations were painted by Rockwell to illustrate the book. The Museum also has many other paintings, sculptures (including The Cheyenne by Frederic Remington) and artifacts from Western life. I heartily recommend a trip to Corning and a visit to this Museum.

Norman Rockwell Quotes:I'll never have enough time to paint all the pictures I'd like to. No man with a conscience can just bat out illustrations. He's got to put all his talent and feeling into them! Some people have been kind enough to call me a fine artist. I've always called myself an illustrator. I'm not sure what the difference is. All I know is that whatever type of work I do, I try to give it my very best. Art has been my life. Right from the beginning, I always strived to capture everything I saw as completely as possible. The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they're always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back. I can take a lot of pats on the back. I love it when I get admiring letters from people. And, of course, I'd love it if the critics would notice me, too. You must first spend some time getting your model to relax. Then you'll get a natural expression. More at BrainyQuote. Rockwell Favorites
