Shepard Fairey MAKE ART NOT WAR Signed Offset Lithograph
A powerful fusion of political messaging and iconic street art aesthetics, Shepard Fairey’s MAKE ART NOT WAR transforms a timeless anti-war sentiment into a bold visual statement. Created during the Iraq War, the print reinterprets the 1960s mantra “Make love, not war,” shifting its focus toward the necessity of creative expression over destruction. Framed in an Art Nouveau-inspired floral garland, the central female figure feels grounded and self-possessed, while layered symbolism—including paintbrushes resembling spears and the commanding “OBEY” at her neck—adds tension and depth to the work’s message. The result is a visually striking piece that bridges historical protest art with contemporary cultural critique.
