Election Day 1948

"Election Day" (1948) by Norman Rockwell is a quintessential example of his iconic American realism style. The painting depicts a family gathered around a table, engaged in heated political discussion. The father, visibly passionate, points to a newspaper featuring presidential candidate, while his daughter expresses her own viewpoint. The younger child, overwhelmed by the tension, sits alone, clutching a teddy bear. Rockwell's masterful use of light, color, and detail creates a captivating scene that captures the essence of a quintessential American moment.
