Triple Self-Portrait



"Norman Rockwell" was born on February 3,1894 in New York City in New York. His nationality was United States . He had one brother. He was older by a year and half than Norman. Norman transferred from high school to the chase "Art school" at the age of 14. He then went on to the National Academy of Design and finally to the Art Students League . He Died on November 8, 1978 at the age of 84 in Stockbridage.

The late Norman Rockwell painted "Triple Self Portrait" in 1960 for the February, 13 cover of the Saturday Evening Post, Rockwell was most famous as the cover illustrator of everyday life scenarios he created for magazine over more than four decades .

In my opinion, although he had many paintings, this painting influenced me because I think it is very hard to understand a person who paints himself/herself with specific details such as colors, trash, open book and some photographs. It is a wonderful painting and a Strange artist
. I like this kind of paintings. It is simple and in the same time it has alot of obscurity
