Iconic Norman Rockwell works of art are taken off the White House walls[/i][/b]
BETTY MONKMAN, who worked on the White House curatorial staff from 1967 until 2002 when she retired as its chief curator, told West Wing Playbook the sketches were lent by the descendants of STEVE EARLY, who was FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT’s press secretary. She said Rockwell gave the prints to Early. A person familiar with the matter said that several jumbo photos of Biden have since replaced the Rockwell prints[/b], which also were featured in the “Saturday Evening Post” in 1943.[/i]
