[a fool in paradise]

The American Illustrator movement (from the turn of the century through the late-mid century (~1964)) is neglected in America's art museums. Instead they are dominated by abtraction and "anti-art" (designed at a time to be a counter to the establishment but it has BECOME the establishment).

In 1970, museums didn't consider photography "art" either.

I remember in my college Art History class having to memorize all the aspects of "Judy Chicago." Meanwhile, Norman Rockwell was not discussed at all.
