Lo que comentó Shepard Fairey sobre la creación de esta obra especial: "I've been a big fan of the band Franz Ferdinand (...) I met the Franz guys at a gig in L.A. a few years ago and mentioned I should be excited to collaborate if the opportunity should arise. That moment has arrived, and it coincides with a mutual desire to block a certain demagogue from ever arriving at the White House (...) I'm incredibly proud that Alex reached out to me to collaborate on an image for possibly the bands 'first overtly political song "Demagogue." I listened to the song and considered my thoughts about Trump as a sociopath and a destructive force in politics and society (...) Alex Kapranos wrote a fantastic statement to accompany "Demagogue" to which I need to add nothing. Listen to the song, look at the art, and look for your own advice for where to stand on the politics of fear and division versus the politics of hope and inclusion. If you feel like I, that Trump is terrible for America and the rest of the world, vote and speak your mind. Every act of moral courage makes a difference. Thanks for caring! - Shepard" Complementa al icónico cartel de Fairey “Hope” del presidente Barack Obama que fue adoptado como el emblema oficial asociado con la campaña presidencial y resume una serie de preocupaciones recurrentes en el trabajo del artista, incluida la propaganda, el retrato y el poder político.

  • Joan Granados Llimona: "Untitled" (1984)

Measures with frame 30x41 cm. ArtArtwork in good condition with signs of age. Cartoonist born in Barcelona in 1931. Grandson of the musician Enrique Granados and the painter Joan Llimona.

To date, he has made his Artwork known in Hamburg, Barcelona, Valencia, Girona, Figueres, Olot, Vic, Vidreres, Banyoles, Lleida, Calella, Palafrugell, Llafranc, etc. In 1984 the Clarà and Vayreda Rooms in Olot dedicated an exhibition of drawings. Granados Llimona is one of the few Catalan artists who, a draftsman to the core, has not succumbed to the widespread prejudice of a supposed superiority of painting. In his production as a cartoonist, he brings together very diverse procedures and specialties: poster design, book illustration, covers and Christmas cards and, most importantly, the cultivation of drawing as an end in itself. as an autonomous Artwork of art, with its infinite potential for qualities, line or stain resources, expressive distortions, graphs and arabesques, resources in which he has revealed himself as a true master, subjecting them to a vision of man and the world that is not eclectic and varied less personal. He is also the author of several murals. He has multiple medals and drawing prizes, especially from Girona and its regions. He was also a finalist in one of the editions of the Ynglada Guillot, and his Artwork was acquired for the Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona.
