FDR propaganda paid for by WPA funds to spread the gospel of government dependency. Like everything, it was a broken clock that was right twice a day but most of it was awful.
The covers of the Saturday Evening Post were commissioned with WPA funds, including this one. How much advertising do you think they could sell in the Depression? Almost all of Rockwell's works were commissioned that way, as he was on retainer. This is not secret information. Pick up a biography of Norman Rockwell or any history of the Depression. The WPA artists went on to produce official propaganda art during WWII, which is where Theodore Geisel (Dr. Suess) also came from.
Rockwell did a series on each of FDR's "Four Freedoms" "Freedom of Speech" is profoundly moving, which makes sense when you consider that it treats a God-given, unalienable natural right. This is neat, but conveys none of that profundity. What FDR was proposing when he proclaimed "Freedom from Want" was a transformation of the human condition, using the power of the state. Depicting that accurately was both elusive (as you can see in Rockwell's "Freedom from Want") and dangerous, because it would reveal FDR's Leviathan ambitions for the modern state.
