"Norman Rockwell menghabiskan karirnya melukis gambar-gambar yang membantu orang memahami perasaan mereka sendiri ... gambar-gambar yang memperkaya pengalaman mereka sendiri dan merayakan hidup mereka sendiri. Tetapi perusahaan seni mencapnya sebagai 'ilustrator', yang sentimental pada saat itu. Seniman sejati, kata mereka melakukan seni demi seni, bukan demi publik borjuis. Seniman sungguhan meletakkan swiggles, corengan atau coretan cat di kanvas. Mereka melakukan pekerjaan 'inovatif' dan 'kreatif'. Jika mereka mengerikan dan aneh; kami tahu itulah kehidupan sebenarnya!"

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Norman Rockwell spent his career painting pictures that helped people understand their own feelings...pictures that enriched their own experiences and celebrated their own lives. But the art establishment branded him an 'illustrator', a sentimental one at that. Real artists, they said were doing art for art's sake, not for the sake of the bourgeois public. Real artists were putting swiggles, smears or daubs of paint on the canvas. They were doing 'innovative' and 'creative' work. If they were hideous and grotesque; we know that's what life really is!
