Commissioned by the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Manifest Destiny, an eight by twenty four foot painting provides a grand landscape in the manner of the Hudson River Valley School of Manhattan in the year 5000 after three millennia of global warming. It is currently traveling throughout America to the Addison Gallery, Wexner Center for the Arts, Bates College Museum of Art and the RISD Museum of Art. “Rockman’s work," Robert F. Kennedy, Jr writes, “reminds us that the central obligation of our nation, our generation, and our civilization is to create for our children communities that provide the same opportunities for dignity and enrichment as those our parents gave us. Our nation’s failure to address the threat of global warming is the most spectacular leadership failure in the history of mankind history.”
