Shame on the Met! Thomas Moran - is the artistic progenitor of ALL the National Parks on our planet, recently celebrated in a PBS series; All three Wyeths - an unprecedented outpouring of art through three generations - any such achievement anywhere? Norman Rockwell - the quintessential genius of snap-shooting everyday scenes in this American life. Words almost fail me... Elitist Manhattan stance? Undemocratic... Like leaving out JMW Turner's masterworks on copper and steel from the recent Turner show?
