Today, February 3 2010, Google has on its homepage featured Norman Rockwell Doodle on the artist's 116th birth anniversary.
(Wiki: Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes.)
I have loved Rockwell's work as long as I remember. Even when I did not know that it was his!
I was moved by Google's act. I thought it was a great way to honor the artist's memory and his work. (Will Indian corporates do this someday? So elegantly and matter-of-factly?)
Today also is another great artist Vasant Sarwate's (वसंत सरवटे) 83rd birthday.
I hope on some future February 3rd, Google will discover Sarwate and feature his Doodle.
If they want an artist similar to Rockwell, I recommend S D Phadnis (शि द फडणीस), Sarwate's close friend.
