Metropolitan Museum of ArtNew York, New YorkThe Metropolitan Museum of Art features one original Norman Rockwell painting in its permanent collection. The Met is not a true Norman Rockwell museum. Its focus is much broader than one very important artist and illustrator. The sole Norman Rockwell painting in the Museum's collection (so far) is a a study of Freedom of Speech, painted in 1942. This was painted several months before his famous Four Freedoms series of paintings were published. The study of Freedom of Speech is a 21 x 17 inch or 53.5 x 43 cm oil on canvas. This version of Freedom of Speech has only been published in Norman Rockwell: A Sixty Year Retrospective by Thomas Buechner on page 86 and in Norman Rockwell, A Definitive Catalogue by Laurie Norton Moffatt on page 769.. Of course, the Museum has many other fine works of art in addition to this Norman Rockwell original painting. Such notable artists as Pablo Picasso, Winslow Homer, Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse are all represented in the Museum's collection. The Museum also features other art forms in addition to paintings. The museum building itself is a beautiful architectural masterpiece also. The Met Museum is definitely worth a visit anytime you are in New York City. Visiting the Met is even worth planning a vacation in New York around.
