Matt thanks much for this piece. I have always said that Rockwell was one of my favorite artists...but always felt a little bad about it...as if that meant my tastes must be...what's the word...unrefined or something? As if I should apologize for thinking so. This piece helps confirm...damn! I was right all along and didn't know it. The past 3 years have been eye-opening in so many ways. Thanks for what you're doing, I truly appreciate it.
Rockwell was roundly dismissed and mocked in my art school. At best a mere illustrator. It took me years to finally break the spell and appreciate his work and this was helped along when my father regularly brought back books from a specialty Russian book store in DC, particularly the work of "The Itinerants." — Worth checking them out.
Thank you so much for this step toward reawakening our American consciousness and conscience. What marvelous images! So much to see in each one. I am moved to purchase one for my wall.
