"cult of personality"

at least Bush actually attempted to open a door...

Super Obama would have used his X-Ray vision so he would have known the door was locked,

he just doesn't know the difference between a door and a window.

That is too funny to be real!! :roflmao:

Yeah but apparently Obama is an Open Source advocate so he wouldn't use windows.

Obama's On-the-Wall Endorsement

Fairey's artwork style of the Obama posters (and lots of his commercial and fine art work) are reworkings of the techniques of revolutionary propagandists -- the bright colors, bold lettering, geometric simplicity, heroic poses -- the "art with a purpose" created by constructivists in the early Soviet Union,...

... "There's an unequivocal sense of idol worship about the image," wrote op-ed columnist Meghan Daum in the Los Angeles Times, "a half-artsy, half-creepy genuflection that suggests the subject is (a) a Third World dictator whose rule is enmeshed in a seductive cult of personality; ...

Soviet style? Seems you're a bit behind the times when it comes to art (or just illiterate as it was mentioned in the article). It's an "Andy Warhol" style (or Warholesque as it was mentioned in the article). Simply google his name and you'll see why they make the comparison.

Anyway, Obama didn't have anything to do with that really.

Let's look at some of that Soviet poster stuff and see what sort of things they idealized.

Well, they liked their athletes

they liked their airforce

and their navy

and their army bringing peace and prosperity to the world

in fact, all of their armed forces

Yes, they seem to have been a very "Support our troops" kind of people. Admirable, no?
Leader was nice to kids

and dressed in military uniform and visited the sailors on their ships

It seems they had all the priorities of a modern democracy.

Now here are a couple of non-soviet posters about the importance of watching out for terrorists

Scarily related I was going over some stuff about Nazi Germany's population control programs and how they reused American posters from the 1880s. A time of Native American, handicapped, and black forced sterlization occurred. Favor fell in the USA after the Nazi programs of WWII came out. Some laws and actions did remain into the 1960s.

But remember only the Commies or Nazis do these evil things. We here in American just attempt to wipe it from our collective psyche. Imagine if the covered all history in school...

Obey Plagiarist Shepard Fairey

Fairey's socialist workers propaganda influence period.

"draw this pirate and you too can be an artist"

If Fairey is considered an artist, I need to sell some pictures I colored as a kid. I even colored outside the lines on some.....it was my ... abstract artistic interpretation of the picture I was ..... er, influenced by.

How appropriate he steals his imagery from other "progressive" artists.

:roll: You realize you originally said SOVIET style, right? In your list of "socialist" style rip-offs only one was "Soviet" propaganda style, the rest were a mishmash of other styles. And the one with Obama is still not Soviet style. So can you now explain to me the point of your last post?

agitprop

symbolism over substance, cult of personality

Oh yes; so very, very soviet.

A Painting style refers to the distinctive visual elements, techniques and methods that typify an artist's work. It can also refer to the movement or school that an artist is associated with. This can also refer to a category in which art historians classify an artist.

Agitprop (Russian: агитпроп) a shortened form of "Department for Agitation and Propaganda" originated in Bolshevist Russia. "Agitation" meant urging people to do what Soviet leaders expected them to do by acting on emotions, "Propaganda" explanations of the policy of the Communist Party and the Soviet state.

The term "agitprop" is the classification that describes leftist politicized art.

Those playing cards are parodies done in agitprop style by Oleg Atbashian, a former Soviet agitprop artist who immigrated to the United States after the fall of the Soviet Union after having lived in the Ukraine and Siberia.

They are, specifically, parodies of the Obama poster. You can't use Stalin done in the style of the Obama poster to prove that the Obama poster is Soviet style.
