What is the actual argument against Rockwell as a great artist? It must be content based attack right? It cant be about establishing a distinct style. How is Warhol considered great if Rockwell can be so easily panned by the critics?
-
Norman Rockwell's genius was less in painting than in composition. As an illustrator, his work was less like a traditional painter than a movie director -- he auditioned models and had sets built. Not coincidentally, his 2 biggest collectors are Steven Spielberg & George Lucas.

I know its crazy. He died, what 50 years ago? But Norman still haunts them. BTW, film critics are still bashing John Wayne.

I've never been a great lover of Rockwell's work but his detractors almost force me to like them, their tastes so distasteful.

Rockwell actually did paint non white americans and things about civil rights. As an art critic he should know that.

We should make armbands with scenes of a lost pastoral America silk-screened. "What's that mean?" "Have you ever contemplated being a Neo-Norman? I have some literature I could share with you..."

Saltz likes ugly art. Or dumb stuff like monochrome cubes/ "Challenging"

Saltz is allegedly related to aesthetic trashbag Lena Dunham.

More crazy from Saltz on Rockwell (at the Guggenheim): "“For the art world to fall for this simple vision now—especially now—is … ‘like confessing in public that deep down inside we are, after all, right-wing. … It’s simply reactionary. It scares me.’”https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2009/11/norman-rockwell-200911 …

New York art critics deride Norman Rockwell as a lowly “illustrator” who lacked the gravitas of a true artist. The real reason they hate Rockwell is because the Deplorables love him.
