The piece borrows the visual grammar of Chinese Cultural Revolution posters, the bold reds, the massed figures, the commanding graphic authority, and turns that language back on itself. Fairey's long-running strategy is to appropriate the tools of propaganda in order to expose how images command obedience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subtitle, The Medium Is The Message, quotes Marshall McLuhan and makes the critique explicit: the point is not what a poster says but how its very form conditions the viewer to submit. By staging that idea inside a stencil aesthetic, Fairey collapses the street-art method and the theoretical argument into one object, an artwork that is both a piece of propaganda and a commentary on how propaganda works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-signed in pencil by Shepard Fairey; this is an Artist's Proof (AP).\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eDetails at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003ctable class=\"gg-facts\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"gg-k\"\u003eArtist\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"gg-v\"\u003eShepard Fairey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"gg-k\"\u003eTitle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"gg-v\"\u003eChinese Stencil (The Medium Is The Message)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"gg-k\"\u003eYear\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"gg-v\"\u003e2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"gg-k\"\u003eMedium\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"gg-v\"\u003eScreen print on cream Speckletone paper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"gg-k\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"gg-v\"\u003eArtist's Proof (AP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"gg-k\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"gg-v\"\u003e—\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"gg-k\"\u003eSubject\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"gg-v\"\u003ePropaganda \/ media critique\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"gg-k\"\u003eSignature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"gg-v\"\u003eHand-signed in pencil by Shepard Fairey; Artist's Proof (AP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"gg-k\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"gg-v\"\u003eVery Good\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eGraded \u003cstrong\u003eVery Good\u003c\/strong\u003e.
