Mid-Morning Art Thread
Norman Rockwell
Of course I started my search for today's art with Rockwell. Interestingly, WikiArt had no martial works of his, and only four (out of 238 ) with soldiers. I find that odd.
I also contemplated using this photo, with a discussion of how perfect an image of America's fighting men it is. Judging by the age of the German soldier and the age of the American lieutenant, it is late in the war, when America had no illusions about the brutality of war or the Germans, yet the photo evokes the best of this great country.
