Interesting. I think he had a great talent for capturing his era of America. Looking at his work brings on the nostalgia.
Nostalgia, to me, is a good thing. Not necessarily living in the past but recognizing and appreciating things that some people don't care about anymore. Even things before my time. Brings a sense of comfort. Not sure why, but it does. Just like I'm a Lawrence Welk Show fan. I get so much shit over that from my buddies, aside from one of them. He saw the light.
Oh, by the way, the modern version of the Saturday Evening Post is a nice little general interest magazine. No politics. No bullshit, etc. They heavily focus on Rockwell's art. I feel like I missed out on something.
