Signed lower right: Norman / Rockwell
Norman Rockwell (American, 1894-1978) To Keep Myself Physically Strong, conceived 1962; published 1964 Oil on canvas 35 x 29 inches (88.9 x 73.7 cm) Signed lower right: Norman / Rockwell Property from the BSA Settlement Trust, Sold for the Benefit of Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse LITERATURE: Boy Scouts of America Calendar, Brown & Bigelow Co., Saint Paul, Minnesota, 1964, illustrated; Boys' Life magazine, The Boy Scouts of America, February 1964, cover; W. Hillcourt, Norman Rockwell's World of Scouting, New York, 1977, p. 147, illustrated; M. Moline, Norman Rockwell Encyclopedia, Indianapolis, Indiana, 1979, pp. 223-9, fig. 8-48, illustrated; L.N. Moffatt, Norman Rockwell: A Definitive Catalogue, Vol. I, Stockbridge, Massachusetts, 1986, pp. 286-7, no. A85, illustrated; J. Csatari, Norman Rockwell's Boy Scouts of America, New York, 2009, pp. 84-5, illustrated. To Keep Myself Physically Strong captures two scouts engaged in a fitness test, showcasing Norman Rockwell's remarkable ability to depict everyday moments with humanity and humor. The title derives from the Scout Oath, which reads: "On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." While much of Rockwell's collaboration with the Boy Scouts of America highlights moral and intellectual virtues, this painting stands out for its humorous portrayal of physical fitness as a key aspect of personal development. In a tender sibling scene, a younger boy in a Cub Scout uniform stands on a chair, measuring his older brother's chest with a tape measure. The Boy Scout, chest proudly expanded, stands confidently, while his younger counterpart focuses intently on the task, his brow furrowed in concentration. The scene captures both boys' deep engagement, their youthful determination palpable. Adding a layer of warmth is a beagle sitting at their feet, looking up at the boys with a curious and slightly amused expression. Rockwell often used animals, particularly dogs, to create a sense of familiarity and companionship in his works, and here, the beagle adds a playful note, as though sharing in the boys' efforts. Rockwell's mastery of narrative realism is evident in this work, from the intricate details of the boys' clothing to the lifelike texture of the dog's fur. The painting's color palette, dominated by warm, earthy tones, creates a sense of intimacy, evoking the comfort of home and family. The subtle use of bright red draws the viewer's eye to the central action of the boys, while the soft, diffused lighting casts a nostalgic glow over the scene, giving it a timeless quality. The interaction between the brothers is a testament to Rockwell's skill in portraying human relationships. Their body language communicates respect and camaraderie, emphasizing that the act of measuring strength is as much about mutual growth and mentorship as it is about physical prowess. The younger boy's upward gaze reflects admiration for his older brother, while the older boy's exaggerated stance conveys a sense of pride in setting a good example. Beyond physical fitness, To Keep Myself Physically Strong speaks to the broader virtues of perseverance, discipline, and mentorship—values deeply ingrained in the Boy Scouts of America. The older boy's proud yet focused expression underscores his role as a model of strength and guidance, while the younger boy's diligence and eagerness embody the scout principles of hard work and self-improvement. A "Fitness Record" chart in the background hints at the importance of tracking progress and setting goals, further reinforcing the theme of personal growth. To Keep Myself Physically Strong gains additional significance when viewed within the cultural context of mid-20th-century America. The 1960s saw a growing focus on health, physical fitness, and character-building, with increasing concerns over juvenile delinquency. Organizations like the Boy Scouts of America played a crucial role in promoting structured activities that instilled values of discipline, patriotism, and self-care. In this setting, and through the lens of the Scout Oath, physical strength is portrayed not merely as a goal but as a pathway to cultivating personal virtue and character.
