The Thanksgiving Picture
Freedom from Want (1943) by Normal Rockwell, also known as The Thanksgiving Picture or I'll Be Home for Christmas, is the third of the Four Freedoms series inspired by FDR's 1941 State of the Union Address, known as Four Freedoms. It was published in the March 6, 1943, issue of The Saturday Evening Post. It depicts a group of people gathered around a dinner table for a holiday meal featuring a main dish of roast turkey. All of the people in the picture were friends and family of Rockwell in Arlington, Vermont, who were photographed individually and painted into the scene. Having been partially created on Thanksgiving Day, it has become an iconic representation for Thanksgiving and family holiday gatherings.
From FDR's 1941 State of the Union Address: "In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression – everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way – everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want – which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants - everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear – which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor – anywhere in the world."

Ready to Hang Canvas
Canvas prints, or wrapped canvas, are hand-stretched over solid wood like the base of traditional painting. Canvases come with black backboard and hanging wire installed, ready to hang on your wall — without a frame.
Stretched canvas combines a classic medium with a modern finish, an ideal way to present artwork for display.

Let customers speak for us
The print is stunning. The quality of the paper, the colors, the sharpness of the image, all are just beautiful. I'm very happy I choses to order from Without a Frame.
Great print that I got in the exact size I needed for a specific space...it was really nicely framed....and really well packaged for shipping. There are a couple other prints I am considering getting now.
Bought the 25x20, impressive size, looks great on the wall
Great looking print, you can really see the detail.
The throw is great quality. The colors are excellent and I appreciate that it is sized proportional to the original without any cropping.
The pillows are excellent quality and amply filled. The skulls have a great texture, and really look great on the couch. Shipping was fast.
All went well...quality product...arrived quickly....well packaged but not overdone.
These pillows are wonderful. They are very well made and coordinate with the throw that I got from the same company. The 2 Dans were great to work with. I was able to customize the pillows to allow them to be mirror images.
We have always loved the woodcut The Wave. Having it in blanket form is special.
