Joseph Csatari (February 20, 1929 – April 14, 2025) was an American artist, born in South River, New Jersey, the son of John and Emma (née Kovacs) Csatari, who were Hungarian immigrants. Csatari was a realist artist who worked with Norman Rockwell. As a boy, Csatari had painstakingly recreated Saturday Evening Post covers that Rockwell had painted. In 1977, shortly before Rockwell died, Csatari was commissioned as the Boy Scouts of America's (BSA) official artist.
