And the Obama campaign has been inundated with helpful citizen propagandists like Los Angeles-based street artist Shepard Fairey who is responsible for creating the ubiquitous HOPE poster, the poster that started a rash of artists and designers hoping to catch the Obama wave to fame.
The HOPE poster has a companion poster, PROGRESS.
As well as the similar CHANGE version. But there are many others out there.
And all of them seem to evoke the graphic tradition of communist propaganda.
It's too bad that the author did not do his homework on Shepard Fairey.
You don't need to compare Fairey's Obama posters to communist artwork from the USSR, Cuba, or China.
You need only compare Fairey's Obama posters to Fairey's own communist posters! Yes, Shepard Fairey is yet another Amerikkka-hating "friend of Obama" fund-raiser.
Fairey has a company ("Obey") that produces his own artwork, such as these.
See Fairey's website: http://www.thegiant.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Prints
Obama has told Fairey that he admires the political messages of his artwork.
If Obama is elected president, expect Shepard Fairey to become the "Artist Laureate" of his administration. I can imagine Fairey as Artistic Director of the Inauguration.
