Joseph Norman

Joseph Norman (born March 9, 1957 ) is an American artist who is currently a professor at the University of Georgia's Lamar Dodd School of Art where he formerly held the title of Chair of the Paintings and Drawings Department. A review in Newport This Week described his artistic practice: "Without pulling punches, Norman, especially in his lithographs, has confronted people with ugly truths about race, social injustice and other issues we are still coming to terms with." In 1995, Norman's show with John Wilson, Dialogue:John Wilson/Joseph Norman opened at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Norman began selling his artwork to the public in 2006 at the request of gallery owner Nancy Hoffman.

As an educator of visual art, Norman has taught at several institutions including the school of the Newport Art Museum, the Rhode Island School of Design, and the University of Georgia, as well as 50 other museum and university collections.
