| Norman Rockwell, Mrs. Catherine O'Leary Milking Daisy, ca. 1935 | |||
| For six decades of the twentieth century, extending into the 1970's, Norman Rockwell's art defined America for a vast popular audience. Rockwell's choice of Mrs. O'Leary and Daisy as his subject confirms their entry into the national folk pantheon. Rockwell portrayed a robust Kate O'Leary happily lost in her task as Daisy mischievously turns her back on the lamp, the viewer, and history. | |||
