I brought a Rockwell book into my class of preteens and young teens, and they were fascinated with it.
Some classes are more of a succes than others, and the subjects that catch their attention are always surprising.
I can't decide which Rockwell painting is my favorite, but the one of the boy praying in the restaurant with grandma with red ears has to be in the top ten.
I'm glad you did that......our younger people and even some middle aged people have no clue to our American culture.....many people don't know who Grandma Moses was ......
My favorite, bar none. Rockwell is best known for light, sentimental pieces, but he wasn't afraid to turn his keen eye and vast talent to serious subjects, especially late in his career, when the civil rights movement stirred his conscience. His series on the Four Freedoms painted during the war is also some of his most stirring work.
