Rockwell was the original MEME er, meme-ing America into identification

I have been to the Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, and I can assure you that, in person, his paintings are remarkable.

The vibrancy and detail in them is not done justice by digital representations of them.

When I was 15 yo my Dad decided to do Daddy-daughter day.

He took me to downtown Chicago where we went to the newly opened Sears tower and a Rockwell exhibition.

Great day and a fabulous exhibition!!

Rockwell captured Americana.

Indeed. One of Rockwell's works that really impressed me was this one:

Americana!

In all of history there were only two people willing to lay down their lives for the freedom of others: Jesus Christ and the American soldier.

“Freedom from want” and “freedom from fear” are not really freedoms but low levels of wellbeing or security. The other two “freedoms” are found in the First Amendment.

Thank you for being a discerning and thoughtful FReeper!

I, personally, have my problems with the claim that "freedom from want" should be ranked together with those other freedoms.

Regards,

That cover was published just a couple of weeks before my birth.

That looks like a soldier’s mess kit on her lap, and she’s saying Grace.

Today, that working man speaking at a public meeting would be castigated as a white Christian nationalist right wing extremist. NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN would be horrified, and the Centers for Disease Control and the American Psychiatric Association would consider him mentally ill and needing strong psychotropic medications if not involuntary confinement in the local mental hospital.

No kidding-I am not a fan of that particular style of eye makeup, but...she is cute, and I find her aversion to the child-like antics behind her to be very attractive!

Inner beauty, FRiend!
