About this poster:
This vintage World War II poster, created by renowned artist Norman Rockwell in 1943, features his iconic painting "Freedom from Fear." The scene depicts a quiet, intimate moment as a mother and father tuck their two small children into bed. The children are sleeping peacefully, oblivious to the world's turmoil. In contrast, the father holds a newspaper with a stark headline about bombings and horror, grounding the tranquil domestic scene in the harsh reality of the ongoing war. The poster's text frames this personal moment as a universal value worth defending: "OURS... to fight for" at the top, and "FREEDOM FROM FEAR" at the bottom.
This piece is the last of the famous "Four Freedoms" series, inspired by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1941 State of the Union address. Roosevelt articulated four fundamental freedoms that people "everywhere in the world" ought to enjoy: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. The U.S. Office of War Information (OWI) commissioned the posters to promote these ideals and rally public support for the war effort. Rockwell's interpretation of "Freedom from Fear" powerfully translates a broad political concept into a relatable, heartfelt image of family and security, illustrating what American soldiers were fighting to protect both at home and abroad.
