Questions: Please ask any questions before bidding or buying.Notes: Saturday Evening Post, Curtis Publications, 1944. Norman Rockwell seemed to enjoy the idea of artwork coming to life, as he has depicted the theme in such classic pictures as The Art Critic and Framed. Fireman, his May 27, 1944 cover for the Saturday Evening Post, continues this humorous trend by featuring a framed portrait of a firefighter hanging in a gallery who watches with concern as a discarded cigarette smolders in front of him. The humor comes from the notion that the fireman can do nothing to extinguish this particular fire hazard, since he is but oil on a canvas. Rockwell was most likely using humor to deal with his own personal tragedy from a year earlier, when his Arlington, Vermont, studio burned to the ground. Thanks for looking!
