Have you ever known of someone who had had mad talent, but didn't realize HOW deep that talent really ran?

I picked up a book on Norman Rockwell at an auction yesterday. I love his work, but I only knew what I think most people know of him…all the gangly, happy people, mostly boys.

Well, he also painted presidential portraits, Kennedy, Nixon, Eisenhower.

He painted pictures showing the battles for desegregation and change in the 60’s.

And This just took my breath away, specifically this one face
instantly recognizable as Aladdin, even though I never knew Aladdin was black! :D

I gotta get me a copy of that print.
