Four Freedoms 75th AnniversaryVicto NgaiThis year mark the 75th year of FDR’s four freedoms speech, I had the great honor to create a series of images for the Four Freedoms Park Conservancy to celebrate this anniversary. The Four Freedoms has been illustrated by some of the greatest illustrators in history, such as Norman Rockwell and Arthur Szyk. I would be lying if I say I didn’t feel the pressure of filling these big shoes. Art director Madeline and I agreed that a modern interpretation that’s more whimsical and less propagandistic was preferable. I believe Four Freedoms remain applicable today. And they are rights that everyone, not just one country or one group of people, deserve. So I decided to go a different route and forgo depicting human altogether. I wasn’t sure if this unorthodox interpretation would fly but Madeline being wonderful as usual, was completely on board with the pitch. Thank you Madeline!I am really happy of how these images came out, I hope you would enjoy them too! -- source link
