Through his paintings he romanticized the simple life and values of the Americans and made sometimes rather complicated issues quite simple.Not many will acknowledge him as a great artist, but he is certainly one of the best known.
Among the best-known of his works are the "Willie Gillis" series, "Rosie the Riveter", "Saying Grace", and the "Four Freedoms" series.
I just can't help feel drawn into the greasy poetry in his pictures and linger with a thirst for a simpler time, that possible never were. And a feel that I ought to go buy some war bonds right now...
