    Norman Rockwell
    Examine the picture: Mr. Hess (the model for this painting is a local mechanic, Carl Hess, a father of three and a neighbor of the Rockwells in VT) is wearing a blue shirt with a blue collar. The men listening to him are wearing white shirts with white collars. Mr. Hess' hands are the hands of a working man.
    Norman Rockwell painted four freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
    Finding new ideas for paintings took work, but painting "The Four Freedoms" was a more significant challenge. “It was so darned high-blown,” Rockwell said, “Somehow, I just couldn’t get my mind around it.” While mulling it over, Rockwell, by chance, attended a town meeting where one man rose among his neighbors and voiced an unpopular view. The young man appears unfazed by his modest attire amid formality, focusing instead on the subject matter that concerned him to the extent that he felt it necessary to attend this meeting and speak his mind.
    That night Rockwell awoke with the realization that he could paint the freedoms best from the perspective of his own hometown experiences using everyday, simple scenes such as his own town meeting.
