Portraits in praise of a people: A rhetorical analysis of Norman Rockwell's icons in Franklin D. Roosevelt's “four freedoms” campaign

Abstract

This analysis focuses upon Norman Rockwell's paintings, the “Four Freedoms,” within the context of Franklin Roosevelt's campaign to educate Americans about the necessity of participation in WWII. The epideictic icons in Rockwell's paintings promoted identifications that constitute the tenets of a conjoined religious and political perspective, and that idealized perspective served a deliberative function in Roosevelt's campaign.
