Shepard Fairey (OBEY). Title: Make Art Not War. Style: The piece is heavily influenced by Art Nouveau and vintage propaganda, a style that also impacted the hippie and psychedelic art of the 1960s. Symbolism: The central female figure is surrounded by a floral garland. The phrase "Make Art Not War" is a creative riff on the 1960s anti-war slogan "Make love, not war". Two paintbrushes positioned below the portrait are arranged like spears on a coat of arms, representing the power of creativity to combat conflict.
