“MAKE ART NOT WAR Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 300” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Make Art Not War is a 2004 Shepard Fairey screen print, published by Obey Giant in a First Edition of 300 and measuring 18 x 24 inches. The title adapts the classic 1960s antiwar slogan "make love not war," substituting art for love to position creative practice as an act of resistance. The work uses Fairey's propaganda-poster style: bold flat color, strong typography, and graphic emphasis. As a mid-2000s Obey Giant edition, it pairs his peace-and-antiwar messaging with his enduring belief in art as a tool for social change.
