"Propaganda
has been around for many years, and has been used as a platform for Artists and
Illustrators to produce work relating to the views and opinions of an
individual."
"Animal
cruelty is a subject that many Illustrators rise to, using their talents to
express the struggles that animals cannot express themselves."
"Hogarth
said ‘there is no part of my works of which I am so proud… because I
believe the publication of them has checked the diabolical spirit of barbarity
to the brute creation, which, I am sorry to say, was once so prevalent in this
country’. Some might say Hogarth believes that his Illustrations didn’t play a
large enough role in stopping cruelty, but instead just showed it for what it
really is."
"Illustrators
often take influence from these posters in the creation of their own designs, a
lot of them utilising these alarming and distressing themes to catch the
attention of their audience."
"What
Ellul is saying is that propaganda first comes from a will for it to be made,
there is no propaganda unless there is an idea that drives it."
"Illustrators
use propaganda as a way to invoke emotions into their audience, as the IPA
said, psychologically manipulating the viewer’s opinion."
"These
acts of unity from the Illustration community show how propaganda doesn’t have
to be seen as a form of aggression, but a form of peace and concord."
"This
shows how sometimes Illustration is just raw powerful emotion that comes from
one individual and ends up affecting millions of people."
"Meaning
he just wanted the Illustration to speak for itself, not to make money from."
"This
is showing a different kind of role that Illustration plays, sometimes harsh
words and sarcasm are needed in order to get across the right point and to make
people listen."
"We
can also see the success of Illustration and propaganda as influential
political tools within the work of Banksy who, as previously discussed
throughout this essay, uses his well-known visual signature to draw attention
to prominent issues within contemporary society."
