Quotes by Christopher Finch (?)

“If Charles Dickens was the literary master of the Christmas story, surely Norman Rockwell holds the equivalent position among illustrators. No one has rung more variations on the theme than he has.”

“That Diirer and Rembrandt are sources of inspiration to Rockwell will come as a surprise to no one, but some people may be a little nonplussed to find the expressionistic work of Van Gogh and the still more radical vision of Picasso sharing space with these more academic masterpieces.
The fact is that, despite the evidence of his work, Rockwell's taste is extremely catholic.”

“Norman Rockwell is a master of the art of illustration, an art that he helped transform as technical advances that occurred during his lifetime brought high-quality color reproduction to the newsstands of the world. It is almost impossible, however, to discuss him simply as an artist and innovator because, by some mysterious chemistry, the images he created have become part of the fabric of our popular culture. He held up a friendly mirror to the society he lived in, and Americans have looked into this glass and seen themselves as warm, decent, hard-working citizens of a country bountiful enough to accommodate their boundless optimism.”
