Original Item. Only One Available. The Four Freedoms or Four Essential Human Freedoms is a series of four oil paintings that Rockwell produced in 1943 for reproduction in The Saturday Evening Post alongside essays by prominent thinkers of the day. Later they were the highlight of a touring exhibition sponsored by the Saturday Evening Post and the United States Department of the Treasury. The Four Freedoms theme was derived from the 1941 State of the Union Address by United States President Franklin Roosevelt in which he identified four essential human rights (Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear) that should be universally protected. The Office of War Information printed four million sets of Four Freedoms posters by the end of the war.

This is a great framed example of the “Freedom from Want” poster designed by Norman Rockwell. The poster depicts a woman in an apron placing a Thanksgiving turkey on the table in front of a standing man at the head of the table, with the faces of extended family members around the table smiling expectantly.; Norman Rockwell was a 20th-century American painter and illustrator. His works enjoy a broad popular appeal in the United States for their reflection of American culture. Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations of everyday life scenarios he created for The Saturday Evening Post magazine for more than four decades.

The poster is in great condition without any serious issues, just the normal fold markings. The frame measures 21¾ x 29½” and is in good condition.
