I saw the Rockwell Exhibition last year at WALMART’S Crystal Bridges museum. Well worth the trip!
Rosie the Riveter is on permanent display there.
I remember back in 1971, there was South African artist who did pretty calender art pictures. The critics hated his work and he said it hurt his feelings so bad he “cried every time he went to the bank”.
Years ago, there were thousands of paintings done for pulp magazine covers back in the 1930s through 1970. No one wanted the paintings so they were burned in mass furnaces in the printing houses.
Today if you have an original painting from an old magazine cover it is worth not less than $40,000.
saw same.
great art.
horrible curation by Crystal Bridges.
