On 20 May 1916, the Saturday Evening Post first featured on the cover the work of Norman Rockwell. It must have worked -- they kept buying his cover art for forty years or so.
People who love to hate Norman Rockwell have a problem with his representational art. They wish he were deconstructing the expectations of the viewer, or some such art-jargon. But dude, that's what he is doing.
