About the images

The image used for the promotion is one of Norman Rockwell's famous paintings of the Four Freedoms. Below are reproductions of the other three of the Norman Rockwell paintings illustrating those four freedoms done for the Saturday Evening Post in 1941.

The Four Freedoms are goals famously articulated by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1942 State of the Union Address he delivered to the United States Congress. In an address also known as the Four Freedoms speech, FDR proposed four points as fundamental freedoms humans "everywhere in the world" ought to enjoy:

   1. Freedom of speech and expression
   2. Freedom of religion
   3. Freedom from want
   4. Freedom from fear

His inclusion of the latter two freedoms went beyond the traditional American Constitutional values protected by the First Amendment, and endorsed a right to economic security and an internationalist view of foreign policy that have come to be central tenets of modern American liberalism. They also anticipated what would become known decades later as the "human security" paradigm in social science and economic development.
