<p>This set of four Norman Rockwell &#8220;Freedom&#8221; paintings is probably the most popular of his artwork.  At least one of this series is hanging in many homes in America today.  The theme of the State of the Union address that inspired these paintings went over the four essential human rights that needed to be protected and reminded the people of the U.S. why we were fighting in WWII.  This Freedom series of Norman Rockwell paintings is probably the cornerstone of his artwork.</p>

<p>These prints were done with a high-end digital printer, the most modern method of laying down fine ink on archival paper.  The results are pure and vivid color and the best quality available, making it completely suitable for galleries and museum quality.</p>
<p>Another of <span style="color: #000000;">Norman Rockwell prints</span> and posters about freedom, depicting normal American man being able to speak up, as is his right.  Spoken about in President Roosevelt&#8217;s State of the Union address in 1941.</p>

<p>Norman Rockwell is probably the most widely known contemporary commercial artist of the 20th century.  He had a hard time being recognized while he was alive and was considered by many to be more of a illustrator than a fine artist.  He was popular, but not always considered a fine artist.  These Norman Rockwell Freedom paintings have been widely distributed.  You can see them still in Post Offices, schools, clubs, public buildings, etc.  They depict middle America during the time of WWII, and even now are recognized as representing what America is all about.</p>

<p>The feedback at the time of these <em><a href="http://normanrockwellprints.org/" target="_self"><span style="color: #333333;">Norman Rockwell prints</span></a></em> was not entirely positive.  Many thought Rockwell was too idyllic, and he was not considered a fine artist.  Perhaps depicting America as too perfect, too &#8220;all-American&#8221;.  Rockwell supported war efforts during the WWII era by way of his artwork endorsing war bonds, he encouraged women to work, and also encouraging men to enlist in the service.  His themes involved community, family, patriotism.</p>
