About the Work
“In the War By Numbers image, a little girl cradles a grenade with a rose as bombers fly overhead. Her posture is deliberately innocent… The image asks the question, ‘How did war become so commonplace and banal that it seems fitting in a paint-by-numbers style image?’ A portion of proceeds from this print will benefit the work Doctors Without Borders provides in war-torn regions globally.” — Shepard Fairey
