America’s Artist
Norman Rockwell didn’t create his celebrated images using only brush and paint. They often took shape first as scenes that Rockwell literally acted out. Showing their appreciation for his storytelling talents, film directors George Lucas and Steven Spielberg share their private Rockwell collections with the Smithsonian for the upcoming exhibit Telling Stories.

Valentine's Day reminds us that, as Shakespeare put it, "The course of true love never did run smooth." Sad, yes—but it made for some great cover art.
