Really interesting insights, and good point about the nostalgia for a past that never existed. The work of his predecessors is very nice aesthetically, and Mucha's seems much more like what that professor would have gladly called art. A lot more stylization at least. I've always held kincade's work in disdain because it struck me as the dullest pablum imaginable, but I hadn't heard he was also evil. The invidious link didn't work for me (I'm a filthy yt premium user) but I'll look up more about that for sure.
Yeah. Please keep in mind I mean no shade at Rockwell himself. I just think he had an unintended negative consequence on American culture.

Oh cool I've been slowly catching up on btb for a while now, I just haven't made it to that one yet. It's a great podcast in general so I'll look forward to getting the dirt on him. I remember Degas from an art appreciation class but I don't immediately recognize any of the works on the image search.
