I've been inspired and reminded of my love of Norman Rockwell this week. I am quite proud of President Obama for displaying one of my favorite and heart/mind stirring pieces in the White House. I must admit, I am a little bit shocked by the controversy.
Rockwell's work was one of the reasons I became an illustrator. It was his strength not his sentimentality that drew me to his work. I am happy that the people in art world are now seeing him as an "artist" not just an "illustrator" of sugary sweet American life.
Here is a wonderful video of Norman working...
