Inventing America: Rockwell and Warhol is the first exhibition linking Norman Rockwell and Andy Warhol, two iconic visual communicators who embraced populism, shaped national identity, and opened new ways of seeing in twentieth century America.

A lively, inspirational exploration of the creative methods of America’s most highly regarded illustrators, whose influential artworks reached millions on the covers and pages of the nation’s most popular publications. The engaging lessons, sage advice, and creative approaches featured in this exhibition reflect those of the Famous Artists School founders—twelve exceptional visual communicators who achieved legendary status in their time.

Eric Carle is famous for his representations of cheerful suns and soulful moons, but his work is often sprinkled with twinkling stars, fireflies, and other creatures of the night.

Picture books instill in children a sense of awe, magic, and wonderment, but who inspires the illustrators themselves—the people who bring incredibly imaginative worlds to life? This exhibition gives visitors a peek into the minds and motivations of an array of talented artists working today.
