    1. No. I've seen a great retrospective at the High Museum in Atlanta, and bought the book, which has terrible colored prints. I keep trying to give it away. There were so many covers of magazines that he painted! Amazing.

  4. Rockwell is an American treasure. I remember being like the little girl at the top of the stairs during a grown-up Christmas party.

  6. Somehow, Rockwell's paintings just never get old.
