Comment ID: #2 Name: Jeff Montgomery E-mail: jamontgom(at)hotmail.com That is psychologically odd, isn't it? Looks to me like more of a Canteen Boy monument (http://tinyurl.com/3l85sn). It also makes me think of the Ab Lounge (http://tinyurl.com/3shtkn). | |

Comment ID: #3 Name: Jonathan Provenzo may have tried to come from what he imagines is a "Romantic school vein" in commenting on the Rockwell painting, and good for him, but I doubt that Rand would have agreed that the painting, or much of anything else by Rockwell, fit her view "romanticism" in art. She much more likely would have seen it as representing the average, the everyday, the folks next door -- a humble man doing altruistic work in a rural landscape painted in muddy colors. | |
