Freedom Of Speech Painting

Freedom of Speech

1.      The styles of the people in the painting imply their socioeconomic class by the people that are listening to the speaker are all dressed in business suits and look like they are very successful business workers. The speaker is not dressed very nice he looks like he is a working man he is wearing a blue shirt which that symbolizes that of a working man. The jacket that he is wearing also looks very warn and dirty to show that he may not have a lot of money to have nice clothes or that he is a hardworking man.

2.      The details of that of the paper in the man pocket and the man that is holding it open may show that the man that is speaking has already looked over the annual report of the town and knows what is going on in the town and is now talking about what is has to say. The man on the foreground may be looking at it to see if what the speaker is talking about really applies to what the report is on. He could also be looking at the report to fallow along with what the speaker is talking about.

3.      The exaggerated size of the speakers’ ears may represent that the speaker is listening. He is listening to what they audience may have to say and is also listening to what freedom may really be.

4.      Rockwell’s paintings do not lack depth and emotional complexity of serious art. He shows a lot of emotion is the painting Freedom of Speech. He shows the emotion on the peoples’ faces in the audience. He also paints the paper so that we are in the painting as well hearing what the speaker has to say. With us being in the painting as well we involve our emotions to everyone else’s.  The audiences face can show how what they are thinking and what they are thinking he shows their expression very well. The painting Freedom of Speech is a work of art it is a picture that was taken in real life Rockwell just decided to paint the picture that was taken. It really happened but things that have really happened and are captured are still considered art.
