offset printing; Hand signed; // Demagogue by Shepard Fairey, an offset print created in 2016, delivers a powerful political statement through stark, graphic imagery. The composition features a close-up of an open mouth mid-shout, with sharp, angular red, black, and white lines radiating outward, enhancing the sense of aggression and intensity. The word DEMAGOGUE is boldly displayed at the top, while FRANZ FERDINAND appears at the bottom, referencing both the band's song and the historical figure whose assassination sparked World War I. Fairey's distinct style, influenced by propaganda and pop art, conveys a critique of authoritarian and inflammatory rhetoric, calling attention to the dangers of persuasive yet divisive leadership.

What is Lettrism?
Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
