When you want the picture to tell the story and not someone else's opinion to dominate, this book will give you a good bit of focused information to begin to really connect with his style and vocabulary.
MAYDAY - The Art of Shepard Fairey is published as a celebration of this evocative collection of paintings from one of the most important artists of our time. Like any mayday call, however, the sounding of the alarm also brings hope for help on the way. Drawing on work from the final exhibition before the closing of New York's seminal Deitch Projects, MAYDAY is simultaneously a call for heightened awareness and a celebration of the rebirth embodied in revolutionary movements. Says Fairey, These people I'm portraying were all revolutionary, in one sense or another. With energy and urgency befitting the title MAYDAY, Fairey captures the radical spirit of his subjects, using portraiture to celebrate the artists, musicians and political activists he most admires. If we stay silent, there s no hope,
