Nest Adoption Challenge 2012 will begin soon ..... It's beyond "eggciting" to be able to observe and be a part of such a wonderful, important and certainly vital project as the IWS Bald Eagle Program! Whether you donate, spread the word, make nest observations - it all adds up and is all important to the whole! We are looking for at least one person to help with this year's posts ...... one of our team must take some time off this year  You don't have to be super talented - the posts come from the heart and whatever you choose to do and however you make it happen - it's all good because it's all for the eagles. Give it some thought and if you're interested - send me a note!

Was Norman Rockwell "the Dickens of the paintbrush" -- a brilliant visual storyteller who helped to shape 20th-century America with his optimistic vision of tolerance and decency? The Problem We All Live With - Norman Rockwell Or was he a too-commercial, too-literal purveyor of corny, sentimental kitsch? Manitobans can assess the 65-year career of America's best-loved artist for themselves as a blockbuster solo exhibition, American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell, opens Friday at the Winnipeg Art Gallery and runs to May 20. This is the first time a major retrospective of Rockwell's paintings has ever been shown in Canada. Winnipeg is the only Canadian stop for the touring show, which comes from the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Mass., the town where Rockwell (1894-1978) spent the final 25 years of his life. The Rockwell show includes more than 40 paintings, some of which reached millions as Saturday Evening Post or Boys' Life magazine covers. It also displays a complete set of all 323 covers created for the Saturday Evening Post by the prolific illustrator. Arranged by decade from the 1910s to the 1960s, the covers span 47 years. They had an enormous influence on American culture. "Rockwell is one of the most powerful image-makers of the 20th century," says Gallery Director Stephen Borys. He had to work under constraints, Borys notes, such as the Post's long-standing policy that he could only depict African-Americans in service-industry roles. Rockwell himself said, "I paint life as I would like it to be." The show includes his famous 1943 Four Freedoms posters, illustrating liberties threatened in wartime: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want and Freedom from Fear. The WAG admission price includes an $8 surcharge beyond regular admission. The price includes a choice of two audio guides: a 46-minute one targeted to adults, narrated by Rockwell's son Peter, or a 26-minute guide suitable for children. |
