Norman Rockwell Museum Exhibit: All for Laughs: The Artists of the Famous Cartoonist Course March 1 through June 15, 2025

 

From the Norman Rockwell Museum:

"What did 'famous' cartoonists Al Capp, Whitney Darrow, Barney Tobey, Dick Cavalli, Willard Mullin, Rube Goldberg, and Harry Haenigsen have in common? They were all celebrated visual humorists in the mid-twentieth century and faculty of the Famous Artists Cartoon Course—a popular correspondence course launched in the 1950s that was designed to teach artists to be funny. Original cartoons and instructional drawings from the Norman Rockwell Museum’s extensive Famous Artists School Collection by this cadre of noted artists will explore the wit and wisdom of the Famous Artists Cartoon Course."
