In this piece, "The Low Standards of Norman Rockwell's Critics," I focus on a recent review of the Rockwell exhibition in Tampa.
My book-in-progress about Norman Rockwell's art, Lift Up Thine Eyes, offers the first comprehensive account of the worldview that underlies Rockwell's delightful and beautiful work. This blog occasionally publishes bits from the book, but focuses on pieces not drawn directly from the book. Mostly Rockwell at first, with occasional looks at others, especially Chesterton and St. Thomas Aquinas.

The Low Standards of Norman Rockwell's Critics
Front Porch Republic has published an article of mine criticizing Rockwell's critics. The job of criticizing Rockwell's critics is both easy and difficult. Easy, because they so often say things that are just entirely obviously false. Difficult, because so many of them say such things so often. It's awfully hard to keep up.
