Anyone been watching the NPR focus on Norman Rockwell, and how he is now 
gaining respect in the art world? Representational art is back? Or is it 
just that we find him a tortured soul who groaned about having to paint 
more Boys Life covers. Well, if he wasn't so over sentimental after all, 
maybe we can let him in the back door.

Who knows? Maybe AA will find a more positive future as well? (The no 
higher point of view of his work is a load, isn't it?) What about less 
tortured, more positive photography? Less Joel Peter Witkin, more Elliot 
Erwitt? :-)
