Signed on canvas fragment attached on stretcher bar: Norman Rockwell
Photocopy of letter from Norman Rockwell to Mr. Yotnakparian dated March 6, 1973 accompanies this work.
Viewed and accepted by Laurie Moffat, Director of the Rockwell Museum.
Provenance: the collection of Mr. Yotnakparian, c. 1973; Roughton Galleries, Dallas, Texas

Freedom of the Press (also known as Poor Richards Almanac) may also have been intended as part of Rockwell's original Freedom series, however it was never used. The painting belonged to the same family for over 50 years. In an accompanying photocopy of a letter from Norman Rockwell to the owner, Rockwell wrote "I did the picture . . . when I lived in New Rochelle. I don't remember who posed for Ben Franklin, but I know the printer in back of him was one of my favorite models, Fred Hildebrandt."

Norman Rockwell is America's most beloved illustrator of the 20th century. Renowned for his idyllic images of daily life in small town America, Rockwell explained in his autobiography, "I paint life as I would like it to be." Rockwell was born in New York City into a family of humble circumstances. In 1903, his family moved to Mamaroneck, New York a suburban town in Westchester County where they resided in a succession of boarding houses. While still in high school, Rockwell decided to pursue a career as an illustrator, and in 1908, he commuted to New York City to study at the Chase School of Fine and Applied Art. At the age of 15, he quit high school and enrolled in the National Academy of Design. However, he found the Academy's curriculum was geared toward the fine arts, and Rockwell left after a year to study illustration at the Art Students League under George Bridgman and Thomas Fogarty.

ALBERT BIERSTADT (American 1830-1902)
Hunter in the White Mountains Near Glen House, 1869
Oil on paper
19in.x 13.75in
Inscribed on verso: White Mts. Near Glen House 1869
Provenance: private collection, upstate New York

Best known for his images of the West and of Yosemite, renowned landscape painter Albert Bierstadt also had a special attachment to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He visited the area several times over the course of his career between 1852 and 1886, and created some of his most noteworthy paintings there, including The Lake at Franconia Notch, White Mountains (Newark Museum), Moat Mountain (Currier Gallery of Art), and The Emerald Pool, 1870 (Chrysler Museum of Art), a work Bierstadt considered to be his finest.

Bierstadt's first documented trip to the White Mountains was in 1852, just prior to his departure to study and travel in Europe. He returned to the White Mountains in September 1860, and The Cosmopolitan Art Journal noted that Bierstadt went "into the White Mountain region to sketch, and to experiment photographically, along with his brother, a photographist of eminence." It was this trip that prompted the art periodical The Crayon to praise Bierstadt for "a series of views and studies taken in the White Mountains." Bierstadt returned to the region in September of 1861, staying for approximately three weeks, and in 1862, he returned again and remained for much of the summer. The following winter, the Leader noted, "nearly an entire wall of his studio is filled with studies and sketches from his White Mountain sojourn." Bierstadt traveled to the White Mountains in the fall of 1869, when the present work was painted, and again during the summer months of 1874.

Bierstadt was not only a prolific artist, but also an avid hunter and sportsman. His affinity with nature no doubt inspired his choice of artistic subjects. Throughout his career, Bierstadt traveled

LOUIS LUPAS (American)
Portrait of 35th U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, c.1961
Pastel on paper
28.5in. x 20in. (sight size). Framed
Signed and dated lower left: Lupas, 1961

Louis Lupas is widely acclaimed for his pastel portraits of Presidents, politicians, and other high-profile figures. Lupas first honed his drawing skills as an artist for the Herald Tribune's Theatre section. In the 1950s, Senator Barry Goldwater convinced Louis Lupas to visit Washington D.C., where he was soon solidly engaged creating portraits of high society. Although Mr. Lupas may have stayed down in Washington on occasion when he was working on portraits of Presidents and Senators, he always lived and maintained a residence in New York City on Riverside Drive during that time period. Many of Lupas' portraits were drawn from life, during portrait sittings. This stunning pastel drawing was drawn from life (Kennedy posed for him while President), and captures the vitality and charisma that made President John F. Kennedy one of America's most inspiring Presidents. Lupas' pastel strokes are bold, vigorous, and direct; they create an powerful portrait of JFK, complete with his hallmark blue eyes!
