In My Adventures as an Illustrator, Norman Rockwell’s 1960 autobiography, the #artist recalled memories from his youth that were seminal to his later work as an #illustrator . Of particular importance were evening readings from the classic tales of #charlesdickens by his father Jarvis Waring Rockwell.

Throughout his life, #Rockwell would cite the significance of those nightly readings and the influence of #Dickens on his #art . Not only did the #author provide a lexicon of #human-experience and #personality types for Rockwell to explore, he also inspired the artist’s portrayal of #Dickensian characters throughout his career. - norman_rockwell_museum
