It was an amazing Rockwell exhibition tonight. Seeing the original art next to Saturday Evening Post covers, and so much more. Such talent.
And to top it all off Harrison Ford was there and waved at me! In NWA! Indiana Jones & Han Solo right there at Crystal Bridges.
Gonna take a while to top that.

Typical. "Rockwellesque" is a perfect descriptor for Crystal Bridges. Sticky sweet propaganda art for the masses. Congratulations, Ms. Walton.
