STOCKBRIDGE â The very real world of Norman Rockwell gives way to worlds of fantasy this summer with Enchanted: A History of Fantasy Illustration.
Opening June 12, 2021 and running through Oct. 31, this special exhibition â which will then travel nationally to a limited number of museums â includes more than 100 pieces of original art created by more than 50 artists whose work spans more than five centuries and have never before been shown together.
Assembled over a period of years by Norman Rockwell Museum curator Jesse Kowalski, Enchanted: A History of Fantasy Illustration explores fantasy archetypes from ancient Mesopotamia to present day in what museum officials describe as a serious examination of the history and influence of fantasy art.
