Remembering Maurice Sendak
Norman Rockwell Museum is saddened to learn about the loss of acclaimed children’s book illustrator/author Maurice Sendak, who died on Tuesday, May 8, at age 83. Children of all ages grew up reading Sendak’s highly imaginative picture books, which included: The Sign on Rosie’s Door In the Night Kitchen, and Where The Wild Things Are.
Remembering Rockwell Model Richard Clemens
(“The Runaway”)
Norman Rockwell Museum is sad to learn today of the passing of Richard Clemens, who posed as the police officer in Norman Rockwell’s iconic 1958 painting, “The Runaway.” Having worked as a Massachusetts State Trooper, Mr. Clemens was always very generous with sharing stories about his time working as a model for his Stockbridge neighbor. All of us at Norman Rockwell Museum send our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
