Specifically, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began using images of Rockwell\u2019s work on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram in September, starting with the 1946 painting <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/images.fineartamerica.com\/images\/artworkimages\/mediumlarge\/2\/working-on-the-statue-of-liberty-norman-rockwell.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Working on the Statue of Liberty<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.

Not only has the DHS used the work without the family\u2019s approval, but the messages behind the posts run contrary to the artist\u2019s personal beliefs. They wrote that he would be \u201cdevastated\u201d to see that his work \u201chas been marshalled for the cause of persecution toward immigrant communities and people of color.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Norman Rockwell has a complicated legacy in American culture and politics. To many, Rockwell\u2019s illustrations and paintings are emblematic of life in the United States in the early and mid-twentieth century. They are often lighthearted and wholesome glimpses of everyday life, whether <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/fineartglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/a_header_nrm_runaway.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">at a lunch counter<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51560147628_8eca6e09cb_b.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">a baseball game<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, or <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goupstate.com\/gcdn\/authoring\/2010\/06\/24\/NHEJ\/ghows-NC-405f532d-8ad9-4fb0-8316-0e7ce8f85f7a-5d5fe4d6.jpeg?width=660&amp;height=877&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">a scouting trip<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. He also created works that embody American political and social ideals. The most famous of these works is the Four Freedoms series, which celebrates President Franklin Roosevelt\u2019s 1941 State of the Union address. The series includes <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Freedom from Want<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which shows a loving family gathered around the dinner table, and <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/prints.nrm.org\/vitruvius\/render\/1200\/260937.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Freedom of Speech<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which depicts a lone man standing up in a crowd to voice his opinions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, there is a slightly darker side to Norman Rockwell\u2019s legacy. The images he created are often used by extremists, including Christian nationalists, to yearn for a lost era where traditional family values reigned supreme. Of course, these are usually dog whistles and code words for the period before the Civil Rights Movement and the Immigration &amp; Nationality Act. The Rockwell family\u2019s <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">USA Today<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> article comments on this specifically: \u201cThe scarcity of people of color in Rockwell\u2019s paintings has led those who are not familiar with his entire oeuvre to draw the conclusion that his vision was of a White America, free of immigrants and people of color. But nothing could have been further from the truth.\u201d While one could certainly interpret a good portion of Rockwell\u2019s work this way, there is an unfortunate explanation for this. One of Rockwell\u2019s main employers was the <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Saturday Evening Post<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which featured his illustrations on its cover 323 times. But the publication had some restrictions that often shaped the content of Rockwell\u2019s work. The magazine\u2019s editor, George Horace Lorimer, frequently ensured that illustrations excluded people of color. If they were included, it would only be as racist caricatures or <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/i.ebayimg.com\/00\/s\/MTYwMFgxMTU0\/z\/AkYAAOSwnCtjb-0j\/$_57.JPG?set_id=880000500F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">as servants, waiters, porters, or other menial positions<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">By the early 1960s, Rockwell had become frustrated with these restrictions, leading him to terminate his contract with the <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Saturday Evening Post<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to allow him greater creative liberty. As the Civil Rights Movement got underway in the late 1950s, Rockwell gradually made his support increasingly evident through his work. Probably his best-known painting on the subject of civil rights is <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thisamericanlife.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/uncropped\/public\/episodes\/images\/the-problem-we-all-live-with-norman-rockwell.jpeg?itok=S5q3b465\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Problem We All Live With<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which was featured as the centerfold in the January 14, 1964, edition of <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Look<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> magazine. The work shows a small black schoolgirl flanked by a quartet of men in suits with their heads and shoulders cropped out by the top of the canvas. They all walk to the left in front of a wall marred by racist graffiti and thrown food. The painting is based on the integration of New Orleans public schools, when six-year-old Ruby Bridges <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/9\/97\/US_Marshals_with_Young_Ruby_Bridges_on_School_Steps.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">had to be escorted into her elementary school by a group of deputy U.S. Marshals<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Throughout the 1960s, Rockwell would create many other works commenting on the struggle for civil rights and changing social customs. The most striking of these works is <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nrm.org\/wp2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/NRM.1978.07.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Murder in Mississippi (Southern Justice)<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which commemorates three civil rights activists who were killed by local klansmen in retaliation for their efforts to register local Black Americans to vote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Even Rockwell admitted that his work is not beyond criticism, that his upbringing, combined with the rules set by publications like the <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Saturday Evening Post<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, sometimes resulted in work that reinforced systems of intolerance and injustice. However, he recognized that he and others must strive to combat the \u201cunjust prejudices\u201d of others as well as ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Rockwell family is not alone in calling on DHS to stop using artists\u2019 work in its social media posts.
