Not sure this one's gonna get in, but I hope it does. Norman Rockwell gets scoffed at because of his smarmy, wholesome oeuvre, but I think he is a wonderful fantasy painter. He does paint fantasies, American fantasies, depicting Americans as they most love to see themselves. But if you ever get to see one of his actual paintings and examine it up close, you'll find that he truly was a master painter. Hate on his subject matter all you want; this dude knew his craft!

(This is not even one of his best works, but I wanted something fantastical so I could talk about him) — with Ilie Eugen Săuchea.
