For the top artists of the 20th century list, I would think Norman Rockwell would have made it.
His pictures were moving and above all real.

Wunderbar! What a great life story! Reminds me of how, after five years of raising my two little girls by myself, a nice young lady sat next to me in church one day. We were married a year later, 33 years ago. Also brings to mind one of my favorite short films, Who Am I This Time, a beautiful love story by Kurt Vonnegut, starring Christopher Walken and Susan Sarandon.
