It puts the viewer at a childs eye level, as if they are a child in the crowd.

being pushed up against the wall means the viewer is forced to assume they themselves are part of the crowd.

"why am I celebrating a life that's not available to everyone" was one of those phrases that feels way too simple to have punched me in the gut as hard as it just did

Norman Rockwell is one of my favorite artists. His whole journey from showing happy moments to social commentary is so powerful.

YESSS! This is a huge problem with film, tv, and written art right now. Many people confuse the artist’s desire to create or show a “problematic” character, event, or action and assume the artist is endorsing it. A lot of the nuance of what is trying to be said gets lost and it’s frustrating to see

and she is pristine in her wear. her mommy loves her. her daddy loves her. she is loved. she is cared. her family is also there by the way she wears.

I also love the way Ruby is wearing white, the contrast is stunning, and it's the only large block of white. The white also hints to her innocence, and I just adore the layers in this painting

He did that to show it from a child’s perspective, telling the haters that children were watching

when I was in high school I thought The Great Gatsby was a bad book because I hated it and everyone in it. I had to get a little older to realize that it's a good book because I hated it and everyone in it.

I have watched all these videos, it’s bringing a completely new way for me to approach art. I really appreciate it!

As a collector of Norman Rockwell THANK YOU for showing ALL of his work and not just his cheerful quirky stuff ❤️

Plus Ruby is moving forward, moving past the hate represented by the tomato, suggesting Rockwell thought the hate was the past and integration is the future of America

The tomato marks looks like it’s coming from our perspective too, it’s about self reflection too

im not big on art, im just not. but my teacher in 8th grade told us that we should find something we like, something we don't like and something that makes us feel in a piece of art. i try to do that when i consume any piece of art

I was never really a keen observer of visual arts and wondered if I just don't have an eye for it. I never knew I needed someone to teach me how to consume it beyond "I like it /don't like it".

This is a huge problem in the critique of film and games and comics, those more mainstream pop culture art forms. A misunderstanding in the difference between depiction and endorsement leads to well-meaning people supporting things like censorship. This thing absolutely should be taught.

That painting is beautiful. She shows such strength and determination in the face of awful hate. It made me tear up.

I wish more people understood this distinction, including for literature and cinema.
