Interestingly enough, Steven Spielberg - a guy who could only be described as a liberal - has one of the largest Rockwell collections in the country (maybe the world).

Other than Rockwell, there aren’t too many other 20th Century American painters I really care for, except for maybe Grant Wood and Ed Hooper. Jackson Pollack, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol - none of them appeal to me.

Dirty little secret is that Rockwell (once shunned as pedestrian art) is experiencing a revival among the wealthy...especially Leftists.

Winslow Homer. My favorite American artist.

Maxfield Parrish. Exquisite.

I don't know of Ed Hooper but this one has always been my favorite Hopper painting. The starkness of Hopper's paintings is so vivid in its' expression. One of my all time fav singer-songwriters has a GREAT song called "Nighthawks at the Diner" and I always thing of Hopper's painting....
