On wonders what the origins of the dividing line between "fine art" and "commercial art" were. As a commercial artist, I enjoy the relationship between my work and its value today, as well as the pressure to create and the interplay of inspiration and requirements that the work calls for. I've found this exhibit to be a really fascinating glimpse into Rockwell's creative brain and I respect the discipline and technique he brought to the work for such a long time. In the current discussion about "what art is" I'm compelled to believe that technique and execution are always valuable measures of the skill, dedication and artistry of the creative mind.
