effect on US society beyond any singular work, with his paintings seen as indelible images that went on to inspire American directors such as George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and particularly Robert Zemeckis, whose 1994 film Forrest Gump recreates several of Rockwell’s paintings as scenes throughout the film.From my own three-score year perspective, I would suggest that I can think of no better exponent of my own concept of THE ART of the POSSIBLE for, by and of the people, than he !!!THE WELDER & HIS MATES are particular favourites of mine, since I first became aware of his work whilst studying ART at Grammar School.

In response to Michelle Goldberg's "Brave New World" online Tablet Magazine article - I can only concur with the comment therein posted on January 27th 2012 -
"I like to consider myself an open minded person and while there is an amount of conspiracy hysteria involved in the Zeitgiest documentaries, there is one unavoidable fact that emerges from all of them. That it is the monetary system, as we know it, that is doomed to failure. [IT]’s just a matter of when.
Man can’t create synthetic steel, water, oil etc. These resources WILL run out eventually and as our economic system is based entirely on the consumption of these it has to fail. Then what will we do? With No TV’s, Cars, etc. We will be left with no option but to return to a sustainable lifestyle i.e organic farming. Some will call me a communist among other things which is a natural reaction from people who really don’t grasp the long term consequences of our lifestyle as a species.
I have no political agenda here, I’m just one of many people facing up to the facts."

l analysis & appraisal, I said that there were obviously two directly opposed categories of criticism - constructive & destructive - to which he replied never ever apologise for offering constructive criticism - while all those around you perceive ALL criticism to be destructive.Reality is not just the bad; it is also the good.
The mind requires an awareness of both in order to work at its best.
For one who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends,
but for one who has failed to do so, his/her very mind will be the greatest enemy.
- as Carl Jung so rightly stated -
THE most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.
When one considers the actions of our "masters of the globe" - I invariably amuse
myself by thinking about Leonardo da Vinci's take on them, which was that they were -
"as wise as the wind they fart from their arses"
