Norman Rockwell Signed “Four Freedoms” Posters Measuring 28.5″ x 40″ — Complete Set of Four Posters From 1943 Each Signed by Rockwell, Without Inscription

Original and complete set of “Four Freedoms” posters by Norman Rockwell from 1943, each signed by Rockwell in black felt-tip at lower left, without inscription. Posters measuring 28.5″ x 40″ depict “Freedom of Speech”, “Freedom of Worship”, “Freedom from Want” and “Freedom from Fear”, four tenets of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1941 State of the Union address. Rockwell was so inspired by the speech that he created the oil paintings in 1943, which were then featured in “The Saturday Evening Post” and reproduced as war bond posters by the Office of War Information. Posters are original from 1943, with OWI printing information at bottom. Posters range in condition from very good to near fine, with all having small separations along folds (as issued) only affecting margins, and a few small holes at intersecting folds. “Freedom of Speech” poster is in very good to near fine condition. “Freedom of Worship” has some tape remnants and small areas of paper loss at corners, and mild uniform toning, overall in very good condition. “Freedom From Want” has a 1.5″ closed tear at left margin, and mild uniform toning, overall in very good condition. “Freedom From Fear” has pinholes at corners, and very light uniform toning, overall very good plus condition. An attractive, large set of the famed “Four Freedom” posters, rarely found signed by Rockwell as a set. Sold for $7,423.

We also sold the following Norman Rockwell items:

Norman Rockwell Art Work Portrait of Nixon

1960 signed Norman Rockwell art being a portrait of Richard Nixon, done for the cover of the “Saturday Evening Post.” Charcoal on paper drawing measuring 16″ x 20.75″. Signed to lower right with the artist’s initials, “NR.” This portrait was a study for the 5 November 1960 cover of the Saturday Evening Post, which appeared amidst the presidential race one week after Rockwell’s cover portrait of Kennedy. In addition to Nixon and Kennedy, Rockwell was commissioned to paint portraits of Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson, as well as several foreign heads of state. For his many “vivid and affectionate portraits of our country,” the artist was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977, the highest honor given to an American civilian. Nixon portrait is in very good condition, with pinholes scattered along the edges, and remnants of adhesive from scotch tape scattered along the extreme edges. Corners of sheet fit into tissue pockets on backing. This study is all the more exceptional as it is the only remaining item from the Nixon-Rockwell portrait session, beyond the final portrait itself. Kennedy’s portrait, on the other hand, was lithographed in a limited edition of 2,500 and is therefore far more common than this portrait, which poignantly captures the subject’s personality that Rockwell is so famous for. Accompanied by 5 November 1960 copy of Saturday Evening Post featuring portrait on cover. Rare and inexpensive Saturday Evening Post cover Norman Rockwell art.  Sold for $24,000.

Round-tip paintbrush measures 7.25” long, with a black handle and a white ribbed ferrule. Paintbrush is accompanied by a typed letter signed by Rockwell, dated 26 September 1972 to a Reverend Paul John Rich, giving him the paintbrush in lieu of items concerning Rockwell’s Boy Scout paintings.

Lot also includes a card showing Rockwell at his easel, with a handwritten note, ”I have done some fifty odd Calendars for The Boy Scouts of America / cordially / Norman Rockwell”. All pieces are framed together, along with a page from the ”Boy Scout Handbook” featuring an image of a Boy Scout painted by Rockwell.

Some dampstaining to mat and wear to frame, but overall in very good condition. Originally sold as lot 96C in Cornerstone Auction Gallery’s sale in Rhode Island on 15 January 2007. Sold for $15,000.
