The 1943 painting traces its inspiration back to the 1941 State of the Union address by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in which he outlined four democratic values that 👉🏼he considered essential to preserve: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear👈.
Ironic to hear that from a Democrat considering things today.
Nah, freedom of speech and freedom of worship are Constitutional rights. Where do freedom from want and freedom from fear come from? That's the Democrat/socialist noble sounding perversion of our rights.
I had never heard of Norman Rockwell until about 10 years ago. I loved the art immediately as it made me feel nostalgic for a time I never knew.
I was around for Norman and he was a national treasure!
Freedom From Want was always one of my favorites as it recalled the Thanksgivings of my youth.
Love ALL of Rockwell's work! Especially his Freedom Series. 💕

Yes... absolutely hard to imagine because they are so different today. I wonder who wrote FDR's speech?
