I must be the luckiest person alive for I live in a Norman Rockwellian world. [Aside – I used to think that Salvador Dali was the best painter ever but now I know that the best painter who ever lived was Norman Rockwell for he painted everyone in their best light; the light that emanates from a child’s heart - pure, innocent, and true].
To me, everyone is beautiful – the Great Creator’s works of art.
Technically, no one can match Salvador Dali – his “last supper” painting (now hanging in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.) is the best painting ever produced in the history of the world – because he paints not only in three dimensions but six on two dimensions (the canvas). [Aside – they say four dimensions, but it’s really six].

But, also see Norman Rockwell: http://www.nrm.org/
You be the judge: technical perfection or perceptual perfection?
