EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Rockefeller Plaza's exhibit for the United Nations during World War II. Taken in 1943 by Marjory Collins, a renowned photographer from the Farm Security Administration, this image showcases an extraordinary display that symbolizes unity and freedom. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to the Atlantic Charter framed prominently between two transmitters. Every half hour, the voices of three influential leaders - Roosevelt, Churchill, and Chiang Kai-Shek - resonate through these speakers, reminding visitors of their commitment to peace and cooperation. Surrounding this central focal point are statues representing the four freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. These powerful symbols serve as a metaphor for America's dedication to upholding these principles both domestically and internationally. The exhibition also features boards displaying "Free Denmark" and "A Free Ethiopia" highlighting solidarity with nations oppressed by Nazi occupation. This visual representation underscores America's unwavering support for its allies during this tumultuous period in history. Marjory Collins expertly captured not only the physical elements but also the spirit behind this exhibit. Her use of color adds vibrancy to an otherwise somber time in our world's history. As we reflect on this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of how art can be used as propaganda during wartime while simultaneously promoting important values such as liberty and justice for all.
