Hope” by Shepard Fairey is unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery.
Although posters and creative strategies have long been part of elections, the 2008 presidential campaign was notable for the artistic boost that Barack Obama received. Who can forget the famous “Hope” poster by graphic designer and street artistShepard Fairey, which became the primary image of Obama’s bid for office?
Whether the president’s reelection bid will be backed with the same artistic enthusiasm remains an open question.
