My Art in the Time of a Pandemic
Balloons and Little Horse
Today's postage stamp is from Romania. Issued on 26 November 1981, this postage stamp celebrates children's games, with a print run of 475,000. The illustration on the postage stamp is by American artist Norman Rockwell (3 February 1894 - 8 November 1978).
Norman Rockwell paintings and illustrations continue to have a broad appeal in the United States for their reflection of American culture through two World Wars, the Great Depression, and the civil rights struggles.
According to the Norman Rockwell Museum, "his works often provided levity during times of great strife." Rockwell is most famous for his illustrations of everyday life for the covers for The Saturday Evening Post magazine for more than fifty years.
