I mean no offense, but I have real problems with the “art-community” and the “standards” applied.
I’ve seen people comment that Warhol is a genius, whilst Norman Rockwell is simplistic, campy, and not worthy of praise.

As an artist Warhol is not even in the same galaxy as Norman Rockwell. Rockwell loved his subject matter, whereas Warhol was addicted to the infantile shock value which dominates the Leftist hijacking of once great American culture.

However, in the “hip and progressive” art world, Warhol would be even more lionized if he’d done something really “daring” and “edgy” like a “Sculpture Series” built around his turds.

i don’t agree but representational art like Norman is not considered high art...critics view him much like Russell as an illustrator

Remington....later works....artist not illustrator

like I said...I like Rockwell too
