Norman Rockwell was an American painter born in 1894 who found early success. One of his famous paintings from the 1950s depicts a hobo, or homeless vagrant. The painting shows a man in worn clothes and hat cooking sausages in the street while smoking a pipe, indicating he is homeless. Hobos in the late 19th/early 20th century United States were migratory workers who traveled by train in search of work. Some, like writers Harry Kemp and Jack Kerouac, became famous after living as hobos in their youth.
