Norman Percevel Rockwell (February 3, 1894 – November 8, 1978) is probably the most famous American painter and illustrator. He has said that he paints life as he would like it to be and according to him, "I was showing the America I knew and observed ... My fundamental purpose is to interpret the typical American. I am a story teller."
