Norman Rockwell Museum – Picturing Health – Norman Rockwell and the Family Doctor

A 'screenside chat' with Dr. Marcella Bradway, who joins us to offer insights into Rockwell’s art and observations on the state of healthcare in the Berkshires during COVID-19. From 1929 to 1961, Norman Rockwell created images that inspired us to view ourselves with optimism and to see our family doctors as kind, competent caregivers. They also presented the notion that health is affected as much by our emotional lives as by our physical well-being.
