It depicts the cleaning of the amber-coloured glass of the torch, an operation undertaken annually each July.[3] Rockwell focuses on just a small part of the Statue of Liberty – the torch, a {{convert|42|ft}} long arm, and part of the head of the colossal statue, silhouetted against a clear summer blue. Five workmen are attached to the statue by ropes, including one who is a caricature of Rockwell himself, and one African-American in a red shirt. The inclusion of a non-white figure working with whites, apparently only noticed in 2011,[2] contravened a Saturday Evening Post policy of only showing people of ethnicity in subservient roles.[3] Display in the Oval OfficeThe painting came into the possession of Steven Spielberg, who donated it to the permanent art collection of the White House in 1994. It was displayed in the Oval Office during the administrations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, sometimes to the left of the President's desk, above a cabinet or table on which was displayed Frederic Remington's sculpture The Bronco Buster.[4][5] It was later moved by Obama to a position next to the fireplace, above a bust of Martin Luther King Jr.[6][3] In January 2017, shortly after the inauguration of Donald Trump, the painting was still in the Oval Office.[7] It was reportedly removed later in 2017, in favor of a portrait of Andrew Jackson.[8] {{Gallery|title=Statue of Liberty in the Oval Office |width= |height= |align=center |File:Barack Obama and Harry Reid in the Oval Office.jpg |alt1=Barack Obama and Harry Reid in the Oval Office |The painting in 2009, at right, near the Resolute desk, above Frederic Remington's sculpture The Bronco Buster |File:Barack Obama framed by a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. and a painting of Abraham Lincoln.jpg |alt2=Barack Obama framed by a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. and a painting of Abraham Lincoln |The painting in 2015, hung above a bust of Martin Luther King by Charles Alston |File:Obama meeting with Trump.jpg |alt3=Barack Obama meeting with Donald Trump in the Oval Office |The painting in November 2016, seen during a meeting of President Obama and President-elect Trump }} References1. ^{{cite web |url=https://library.whitehousehistory.org/fotoweb/archives/5017-Digital%20Library/Main%20Index/Artwork/1748.tif.info#c=%2Ffotoweb%2Farchives%2F5017-Digital%2520Library%2F%3Fq%3Drockwell |title=Statue of Liberty |website=Digital Library, White House Historical Association}} 2. ^1 {{cite book |url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-5ZWDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT20 |title=Hidden in Plain Sight: The Other People In Norman Rockwell's America |first=Jane Allen |last=Petrick |publisher=Informed Decisions Publishing |date=October 22, 2013 |isbn=978-0989260114}} 3. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/who-moved-the-norman-rockwell-painting-in-the-oval_us_58333e46e4b08c963e344310 |title=Who Moved The Norman Rockwell Painting In The Oval Office? |website=The Huffington Post |date=21 November 2016 |first=Abigail |last=Rockwell}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.nrm.org/2010/01/norman-rockwell-welcome-guest-in-the-white-house/ |title=Norman Rockwell, Welcome Guest in The White House |website=Norman Rockwell Museum}} 5. ^1 {{cite magazine |url=http://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2010/01/09/art-entertainment/obamas-rockwell.html |title=Obama's Rockwell |magazine=The Saturday Evening Post |date=9 January 2010 |first=Heather |last=Ray}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/jonathanjonesblog/2016/nov/23/norman-rockwell-statue-of-liberty-can-point-trump-towards-decency |title=Norman Rockwell's Statue of Liberty can point Trump towards decency |newspaper=The Guardian |date=23 November 2016 |first=Jonathan |last=Jones}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=https://hyperallergic.com/353515/in-oval-office-rehang-trump-continues-to-copy-others/ |title=In Oval Office Rehang, Trump Continues to Copy Others |first=Claire |last=Voon |website=hyperallergic.com |date=January 24, 2017 |accessdate=May 14, 2017}} 8. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/23/donald-trumps-oval-office-renovation-leads-washington-game-spot/ |title=Donald Trump's Oval Office renovation leads Washington on a game of spot the difference |first=Harriet |last=Alexander |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |date=August 23, 2017 |accessdate=April 7, 2018}} External links{{commons category|The Statue of Liberty by Norman Rockwell}}
