Make Art Not War
Wednesday, September 9, 2009 § 0
During the period of political liberalization of early 1968 Czechoslovakia an unknown artist created a print with now legendary protest phrase: "make art not war" which illustrated a kid holding a protest sign marching towards a soldier. Later on the artwork was first used as a source in the print Dis Obey (Phenomenology, etc. check them out here) which now does big propaganda campaigns based on street art.
Anyway, after seeing the print this summer I really liked not only the work, but the idea and meaning behind it. Stimulating and questioning are key reactions to Obey campaigns, and it inspired me to do some good old playing with photoshop. Enjoi.
