Pops and Lili: First-Rate Version of Yourself

Over his long career as an artist and writer, Pops Peterson has explored many forms of self-expression—but his most impactful effort has been the re-expression of another artist’s work. His series “Rockwell Revisited,” in which Peterson reimagines Norman Rockwell’s work for the modern age, is the longest-running solo exhibition in the history of the Norman Rockwell Museum. On this episode of Formative, Pops joins student co-host Lili in a wide-ranging conversation about art, civil rights, show business, and always being true to yourself.
