This print, created during the Iraq war, is an alternative phrase inspired by popular 1960s anti-war mantra,  “Make love, not war.” In this case, Fairey asserts the need for creative rather than destructive acts. The Art Nouveau style of the image is an additional reference to the influence of Art Nouveau on hippie and psychedelic art of the ‘60s, including many anti-Vietnam war posters.

Encased within a floral garland, the female figure appears more self-assured and real rather than ethereal. The placement of two paintbrushes below her portrait not only refers to a classical tool of art production but resembles spears, which when read alongside the directive to “OBEY” that appears on her neck, simultaneously makes the otherwise palatable message more pointed.

36 x 24 inches.  Offset lithograph on cream Speckle Tone paper.  Signed by Shepard Fairey. Open edition.

Care Instructions

Thank you for your purchase! To ensure that your print arrives in perfect condition, please follow the instructions below for unpacking:

  1. Locate the tab at one end of the tape and gently pull the tape from the kraft paper. Be careful not to rip the paper or the print inside. We do not recommend using a utility knife or any other sharp tool to cut the tape and/or the paper. Do not attempt to remove the print from the kraft paper without first removing the tape.
