Norman Rockwell

Here are four oil paintings Rockwell did as part of a series called "Four Freedoms". His inspiration came from President Roosevelt's State of the Union Address in 1941. They helped to raise money for the war effort by increasing sales of war bonds. He was considered a perfectionist, which shows in his work.

Freedom of speech

Freedom from fear

Freedom from want

Freedom of worship
