Quote by Norman Rockwell
The 20s ended in an era of extravagance, sort of like the one were

The 20s ended in an era of extravagance, sort of like the one were in now. There was a big crash, but then the country picked itself up again, and we had some great years. Those were the days when American believed in itself. I was happy and proud to be painting it. – Norman Rockwell
