Picturing Health: Norman Rockwell and the Art of Illustration
Hosted by Global Health Odyssey, NCHM, CDC

Description: Organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum, this exhibit features rare, original paintings by Norman Rockwell that inspired Americans to view themselves and their physicians with optimism, and presented the notion that health is affected as much by our emotional lives as by our physical well being. The outstanding original Rockwell paintings explore the doctor/patient relationship and the importance of physical fitness and health and healing across the generations. They are accompanied by original works exploring similar themes of health and well being by today's most prominent visual artists, whose bold graphic statements offer a compelling counterpoint to Rockwell's painterly narratives.
Dates and Times: March 10 – June 4, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, and Friday. Thursday: 9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
