1 month, 1 week, 17 hours agoThis article analyses the use of pop art and once-radical iconography in the current political spectrum, especially in relation to President Obama's campaign. The article explores the subtle meanings and social influences behind Shepard Fairey's now-widespread poster designs, but also how the designs make Obama's message easily digestible to the public. This stands as a testament to the importance of the role that art still plays in our daily lives.
