Norman Rockwell's Breaking Home Ties, is the pinnacle of Western Art imo.

His work is really interesting. Normally, I guess I’m more into the bleak and gothic, but I appreciate Rockwell’s sentimental realism. Almost Frank Capra-esque.

Trivia tidbit: David Bowie asked Rockwell to do the cover for his album Young Americans, but he declined

I like most anything by Edward Hopper. Just sets a mood of a period of time and place.

Nighthawks


Summer Evening

I also think Hopper’s cityscapes had an influence on the design of Batman: The Animated Series (1992).

I think I saw this one in a market in Juarez back in my UTEP days. Quality that was made even better when done in velvet.
