Item Description

Norman Rockwell Framed Pencil Drawing - Dinner Jacket from the Mass Mutual Life Insurance Collection

Framed dimensions 11" x 14"

In the 1950's and 1960's, the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company of Springfield, Massachusetts, commissioned illustrator Norman Rockwell to create scenes reflecting American family life for its national advertising campaign. These popular images appeared in such leading publications as The Saturday Evening Post, TIME and Newsweek with text that inspired readers to consider purchasing life insurance. Many of Rockwell’s Stockbridge neighbors, and the artist himself, appear as models in the series. They constitute the largest group of works created by the artist for any single commission.

Their are eighty prints from this collection which offer poignant reflections on American family life, from youth to old age, as portrayed by Norman Rockwell during the mid-twentieth century.
