Norman Rockwe


 
 
 
 
 
 Clearly Rockwell was not a racist, or a "classist". His paintings make it clear that he was very much the opposite. He merely thought well of the United States and its people, and painted images that express that goodness. I think what gets under your skin is something Rockwell remarked on himself. He said "I can't paint evil sorts of subjects." And that is apparently something you have a hard time with. Perhaps you think that only evil is real. Perhaps you think that the good is never anything more than a fantasy. Whatever it is that you think about the nature of the good, it doesn't justify putting Rockwell down.
