The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art describes narrative art broadly as visual art that tells stories or communicates the beliefs, values, and myths through which people understand themselves and their societies. Its collection deliberately defies conventional boundaries between fine and popular art, placing painting and sculpture alongside illustration, comics, photography, and cinema. Among the art on display are paintings by Norman Rockwell, Charles White, Frida Kahlo, Jacob Lawrence, and Utagawa Kuniyoshi; illustrations by Maxfield Parrish and Beatrix Potter; comics by Frank Frazetta, Alison Bechdel, Chris Ware, and R. Crumb; and photographs by Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks, and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
