Irving Norman was born in 1906 in Vilna, then part of the Russian Empire, now Lithuania. Norman's immigration to New York City in 1923 was short-lived, as he would return to Europe to fight as part of the Abraham Lincoln battalion against the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. After the War, Norman would eventually settle in Half Moon Bay, California, where he embarked on a prolific studio practice. <br><br>Norman's work portrays the horrors of war and his firsthand knowledge of totalitarian dictatorships. Norman's work has been described as "Social Surrealism," and his grand scenes are immediate and arresting. The large-scale works of Norman truly capture the power of his lived experiences; they are as much a visual record as they are a warning for the future, intended to inspire change.

アーヴィン・ノーマンは1906年、当時ロシア帝国の一部であった現在のリトアニア、ヴィルナで生まれました。1923年にニューヨークに移住したのも束の間、彼はエイブラハム・リンカーン大隊の一員としてスペインの独裁者フランシスコ・フランコと戦うためにヨーロッパに戻ることになる。戦後はカリフォルニアのハーフムーンベイに居を構え、スタジオでの制作を開始します。

ノーマンの作品は、戦争の恐怖と全体主義的な独裁政治を直接的に描写しています。ノーマンの作品は「社会的シュルレアリスム」と評され、その壮大なシーンは即座に人々の目を引きつけます。ノーマンの大規模な作品は、彼の生きた経験の力を真にとらえ、視覚的な記録であると同時に、未来への警告であり、変化を促すことを意図しているのです。
