Heres an interview with Milton Glaser, the graphic designer who designed the the "I (Heart) NY" logo and this Bob Dylan poster, where he critiques some of Shepard Fairey's work, including the Obama poster. The poster has gotten a ton of press in support of it, so I think its interesting to look at it from another way.

Mauricio Lasansky is my favorite artist. He was born in Buenos Aires in 1914 and moved to the United States in 1943. He established the printmaking program at the University of Iowa in 1945 was a teacher up until sometime in the 90's I think. He's considered one of the "fathers of 20th century American printmaking" and is associated with the 1940's revival of printmaking as a fine art. You see a lot of his work around Iowa City, like at the library and some banks/offices. His website has a complete catalogue of his works from 1933-1997.
