About This Print
Woody Guthrie Canvas is a 2010 Shepard Fairey screen print, 18 x 24 inches, in a signed and numbered first edition of 450. The image portrays American folk singer and songwriter Woody Guthrie (1912-1967), based on a photograph by Sid Grossman and reflecting the format of Fairey's source painting. Created for Fairey's MAYDAY art show, the portrait honors Guthrie as a champion of workers, unions, farmers and the downtrodden, the man whose guitar bore the slogan 'This Machine Kills Fascists.' The print was sized so buyers could keep a standard frame or trim below the signature. Proceeds benefit the Woody Guthrie Foundation.
