The November, 2009 issue of Vanity Fair magazine has an article on a most unlikely artist for the with-it and hip: Norman Rockwell. I remember his covers of the Saturday Evening Post many moons ago, and he did quite a few paintings over the years related to Scouting. The one above is called "Scout Homecoming."
What I did not know was that Rockwell was the art director of Boy's Life while still his teens. According to the VF article, he earned $50 a month and could assign work to himself.
