Inspired by FDR’s 1941 “Four Freedoms” speech, American illustrator Norman Rockwell created his iconic “Four Freedoms” paintings in 1943. Like much of Rockwell’s work, these paintings were popularized by The Saturday Evening Post, which published the paintings with corresponding essays that same year (Freedom of Speech published February 20; Freedom of Worship published February 27; Freedom of Want published March 6; Freedom of Fear published March 13;). Following the success of the posters in print, the United States Department of Treasury reproduced Rockwell’s paintings as part of a campaign to raise war bonds; through a gift from Leonard A. Lauder, these posters are now on display at The Wolfsonian-FIU.
