For all those interested, the Dayton Art Institute has just opened the new exhibit "American Chronicles : The Art of Norman Rockwell". It includes original oil works, both those for the Saturday Evening Post and other, non-magazine works. There are photos, video history presentations, and a complete set of all 323 Post covers. The exhibit runs through February 5th. Here's a link to the Institute's exhibit page: http://www.daytonartinstitute.org/art/exhibitions/upcoming-exhibitions/american-chronicles-art-norman-rockwell
I've toured the exhibit, and I was quite impressed with it. The civil rights era work is represented quite well. If this is your sort of thing and you're in the area, I think it's well worth a visit.

It was very enjoyable!
