Book Synopsis


Few events captivated the world's attention as President Obama's historic campaign. Not only did it stir passionate political momentum, but it also inspired an array of work from a world of artists, illustrators, and graphic designers.

Innovative portraits and graphic designs became a powerful symbol of the country's desire for change, and engaging artists from the grassroots level to the international level became a central strategy to inspire passion and win the presidential race. Shepard Fairey, who made the iconic "Hope" image, created the Manifest Hope art shows, featuring 150 artists who used their talents to carry Obama to victory.

* In Art for Obama 2011 Wall Calendar, Fairey and Jennifer Gross have collected collages, paintings, photo composites, and computer-generated pieces, showcasing the well-known images of the campaign as well as the less famous, but equally creative, works from around the globe.

* This calendar is an extraordinary keepsake for design and art aficionados, as well as supporters of the forty-fourth president of the United States.

* In conjunction with the themes of hope and change, all of the author's profits will be donated to Americans for the Arts charity.
