“I really believed… that the war against Hitler would bring the Four Freedoms to everyone. But I couldn’t paint this today. I just don’t believe it. I was doing this best-possible-world, Santa-down-the-chimney, lovely-kids-adoring-their-kindly-grandpa sort of thing. And I liked it, but now I’m sick of it.”
