“Hope”-Shepard Fairey (2008)
Shepard Fairey created this poster during the 2008 presidential election for Sen. Barack Obama. Shepard Fairey created this poster because he agreed with Barack Obama’s political views. The Smithsonian Institute acquired this poster shortly before Obama was inaugurated (Based on Shepard Fairey lecture).
In Shepard Fairey’s eyes Barack Obama was a very knowledgeable, well informed person. Fairey believed that the previous president was not an intelligent person, and therefore did not deserve power. Barack Obama, however deserved the power because of his knowledge.
