Lucas and Spielberg on Norman Rockwell
Lucas said Rockwell's work, like that of other popular American artists like Mark Twain George Gershwin, truly embodies the American Spirit. "They all have that kind of effervescence that's American. They all have the kind of fantasy, but with enough truth in it to make it worthwhile."
The exhibit "Telling Stories: Norman Rockwell from the Collections of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg" will be at the Smithsonian's American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., through January 2, 2011.
