Both directors George Lucas and Steven Speilberg are huge fans of Norman Rockwell’s work. “He was able to sum up the story and make you want to read the story, but actually understand who the people were, what their motives were, everything in one little frame,” Lucas has said.
The two also taunt each other as to who has the better art collection. In 2010 Spielberg found out that Lucas had purchased a genuine oil painting of Rockwell’s. Spielberg said, “I copied [Lucas] and got a Rockwell. I went out and got a bigger Rockwell!”
