One of my favorites.
I subscribe to the print edition of the Saturday Evening Post.
The current issue had that cover reprinted.
that’s what i remember from when i was a kid in new england.
actually, many of his paintings all have a familiar tone as he lived about 70+ miles away.
definitely strikes a pang of homesickness and remembering family back in the day...
Appearing in the March 6, 1943, edition of the Saturday Evening Post, it depicts a white, middle-class family... Of course skin color is the most important aspect of anything these days, especially when it makes white people look good.
Only turkey, celery and a fruit for dinner. Actually very slim pickings for an American thanksgiving table.
This is something the commie liberal RATS have never seen but wish they had. If I was president, I would make sure that the DemonRAT gorillas got nothing more than a bowl of mutton stew, a piece of fry bread and a handful of piñons for their indigenous day day.
Great painting
We need a modern Norman Rockwell.
I see scenes of kids playing together and families doing things together.
They would be great scenes to paint and remind us all of what’s good
Grandma’s strong.
I should’ve added to the orginal posting, Happy Thanksgiving to all our Freepers and I hope it’s a lovely holiday for you all.
I did send a prayer for the National Guardsmen who were shot today doing their job and hoping to be home with their families tomorrow.
May God speed their recovery.
People then, and now, still criticize Rockwell, because he was basically anti post-modern
His paintings all displayed meaning in something, whatever the subject - family, traditions, holidays, daily life, and the United States. People were normal and average, but happy, capable and content.
Cynics and post-modern types HATE this.
And his legacy survives and thrives.
