The 2020 presidential election is upon us in the United States. The candidates have debated and bantered back and forth for month now, and soon election day will be here. As in past elections, printmaking has been a vital visual component for the public to see the portraits of the candidates, and the posters crested over the years have become popular collector items.
I have chosen a sampling of different campaign posters and political candidate portraits for this post. The bright, vibrant work of Andy warhol has been popular since the 60s. Other artists have chosen more descriptibe portraits, those of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas.
The importrant thing to do is exercise our right to Vote for the candidate we each feel is best suited for the presidency. Every vote counts. Let's see what the next month brings....VOTE!
