His work represents the America I
WANT to live in.
No ghettoes, no crime.
Clean cherubic children that you'd love to call your own.
When the Civil War comes, that will be my template when someone asks what I am fighting for.

Rockwell was a national treasure that age will continue to add value to.

It’s interesting to see his source images but at least he posed his models and he wasn’t slavish in his devotion to “interpretating” the poses.

I love good illustrators probably more than fine artists. I like Rockwell a lot, and Beatrix Potter, too.

It's almost sad: Vivid interactions between people, remembered jointly in the country's collective consciousness, may never have taken place. What an idiotic statement.

This has nothing to do with photoshop. That headlin is stupid.

If all Rockwell did was paint exactly what was on a photo then it wouldn't be ART.
Making yourself a human xerox is not art. ART is where you recompose the picture to convey an emotion, make it more appealing to the eye, etc.
The INTENT of a Rockwell painting is to convey that image that he wanted to convey.
The INTENT of a newspaper photo is to represent reality.
Changing to composition of a photo and painting it to make it art is perfectly acceptable. Changing the composition of a photo and then publishing it in the paper as a representation of reality is fraud.
The attempt to conflate the two is ludicrous.

Cool.
When I was in college my art professors asked me who my favorite artists were - I said I liked Renaissance artists and Norman Rockwell. They had snooty looks on their faces and said Rockwell was considered an illustrator - not really an artist. They were both big libs for sure - and they weren’t that talented. They wish they were as good as Rockwell.
As an aside. I like Ron Paul - and have always thought he looks like he came out of a Rockwell image.

I guess the author has never heard of an artist’s model.
Profoundly few artists paint completely from their mind’s eye.

What is art? Happy, thoughtless is no more art than grim, thoughtless. But the deeper you dig the darker it gets.
