Norman Rockwell
Golden Rule, 1961
Cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, April 1, 1961
Golden Rule features a gathering of men, women, and children of different races, religions, and ethnicities. The inscription "Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You" was simple but universal and reflected the artist's personal philosophy. Rockwell considered himself a citizen of the world and traveled throughout his life. Of the painting, Rockwell said "I had tried to depict all the peoples of the world gathered together. That is just what I wanted to express about the Golden Rule." |
