Rockwell, Norman (1894-1978) - This painting he called, "The Problem We All Live With."

In his later years, Rockwell began receiving more attention as a painter when he chose more serious subjects such as the series on racism for Look magazine. One example of this more serious work is "The Problem We All Live With" which dealt with school integration. The painting depicts a young African American girl, Ruby Bridges, flanked by white federal marshals, walking to school past a wall defaced by racist graffiti.
