According to 'Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent' co-curator, Pedro Alonzo: "This print, created during the Iraq war, is an alternative phrase inspired by popular 1960s anti-war mantra, 'Make love, not war.' In this case, Fairey asserts the need for creative rather than destructive acts. The Art Nouveau style of the image is an additional reference to the influence of Art Nouveau on hippie and psychedelic art of the '60s, including many anti-Vietnam war posters."
