The art world has always marginalized Norman Rockwell. They don't consider him a "real" artist. They call him an "illustrator."

In case the title of his autobiography, “My Adventures as an Illustrator.” doesn't provide a hint, Rockwell insisted on being called an illustrator.

The art world clique demeans the term "illustrator" to make it seem less than being a "real" artist.
