The painting “Freedom of Expression” is one of Rockwell’s most important works, painted in oil colors, and is the first of his other works to focus on the goals and slogans known as the “Four Freedoms”. Franklin Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, expressed the artist’s preferences and belonged to his movement. The artist, the undisputed artist of the American people in the 20th century, adopted a simple method of recording his thoughts, observations and writings. He occupied the throne of this popular art specialty, known as illustration, and was concerned with the printed illustration, often executed in a realistic, exploratory style, and the rules of art and universal skills were very complete. And it becomes a work with all the characteristics of fine art.

The painting “Freedom of Thought” depicts a scene of a meeting in a small local town. The picture shows a man named Jim Edgerton, who is giving a speech to the people in the town where the old school was burned down. He wanted to build a new one in its place, and after the meeting, Edgerton gave a speech to the working-class youth because he was a “blue-collar” person. That is, working people. He appears in the painting wearing a patterned shirt and deerskin jacket, his hands are dirty and his skin is darker than the other participants, while the others wear white shirts, ties and jackets.

Young people, he looks younger than the rest of the audience, and he stands tall with an open mouth and bright eyes. Or perhaps his fears were overshadowed by the political victories and class victories achieved in that era. rights.

Without any pictorial brush, the critic Robert Scholes says the work shows the speaker’s deep interest and admiration for the public.
