Norman Rockwell. Norman Perceval Rockwell (February 3, 1894 â November 8, 1978) was a 20th-century American author, painter and illustrator. His works enjoy a broad popular appeal in the United States for their reflection of American culture.

In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock transformed Bloch's pulp chiller, Psycho, into a cinematic masterpiece.
