I'm ambivalent about ol' Normy. Ryan Cole, who wrote the City Journal piece that links to the exhibit's website, mounts the standard conservative defense of Rockwell over the last however-many years--the elites hate him because he loved America.
Fine, fine. I agree up to a point. On the other hand, check out this painting:

This is supposed to be Lindbergh after his x-Atlantic flight. It doesn't look like him at all. In fact, he looks like one of those idealized Na--never mind. And why does he have a horse concealed in each cheek?
Update: Radio broadcast of Lindbergh's arrival in DC after his flight. "A darn nice boy." .
