Painting Description
"Rosie the Riveter" is an iconic painting by American artist Norman Rockwell, created as the cover for the May 29, 1943, issue of "The Saturday Evening Post." The artwork features a robust and self-assured female figure, taking a lunch break with a rivet gun on her lap and a sandwich in her hand, symbolizing the American women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II. These women, often referred to as "Rosies," took on roles traditionally held by men, who were then serving in the military.
Rockwell's "Rosie the Riveter" was inspired by the patriotic song of the same name and is distinct from the "We Can Do It!" poster by J. Howard Miller, which later became popularly associated with the Rosie the Riveter persona. Rockwell's interpretation presents Rosie with a halo of light above her head and a copy of Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" under her feet, signifying the fight against fascism and the moral righteousness of the Allied cause.
The painting is celebrated for its blend of strength and femininity and has become an enduring symbol of feminism and women's economic power. Rockwell's Rosie is depicted wearing a denim work shirt, a red bandana, and a metal lunch pail by her side, elements that emphasize the blue-collar nature of the work undertaken by these women. The character's muscular physique and confident demeanor challenged the era's gender norms and highlighted the critical contribution of women to the war effort.
"Rosie the Riveter" by Norman Rockwell is part of the permanent collection at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas. The painting's cultural significance and historical context have made it an important piece of American art history, representing the changing roles of women in the workforce and society during a pivotal time in the 20th century.
