Be a Man, It’s Easy: Norman Rockwell: Wall Art

Be a Man, It’s Easy by Norman Rockwell
The Saturday Evening Post, April 29, 1922

There he stands—small in size, but big in bravery. A little boy, trousers rolled up, stares down the barber’s chair with a mixture of dread and determination. Behind him, a well-meaning man gestures encouragingly to the towering chair, as if to say, “Be a man! It’s just a haircut!.

Rockwell’s Be a Man, It’s Easy is pure storytelling magic. With humor and heart, it captures that familiar childhood moment when courage is expected—even if you're shaking in your socks.

Seniors will instantly connect with the playful tension of this scene. It sparks memories of old-fashioned barbershops, gentle teasing from grownups, and the universal truth that growing up isn’t always as easy as it sounds. It’s a delightful reminder of resilience, tenderness, and those moments when we all had to "tough it out."

Display this heartwarming artwork and invite laughter, stories, and knowing nods—because every senior has faced their own “barber’s chair” at one point or another.

A cheerful addition to any space that proves bravery often comes in small, funny packages.
