<p>Painted in 1948, Rockwell had the idea for “The Gossips” 20 years
earlier but couldn’t quite get the ending until he thought to picture
himself as the subject of the gossips’ circle; he used his neighbors in
Arlington, Vermont as the other figures in the painting. Thousands of
letters were sent to “The Saturday Evening Post” asking what the gossip
was they were passing along, but an answer was never given. In an
interview in December of 1948, Rockwell remembered that the woman who
posed for the first lady in the picture, the one who had started the
gossip, was still a little upset at her portrayal. Not all of his
subjects were critical: one model told a reporter, “It’s more fun posing
for him than going to the movies. Norman keeps you in stitches with his
funny stories.”
