Shepard Fairey's portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi

http://internationalcampaignforfreedom.blogspot.com/

Fairey is famous for his campaign portrait of Obama -- for which the photographer, on whose photo his print is based, is suing him, but the photographer is expected to lose.

Since this is a real Shepard Fairey, it's the best of these 3-color portraits that people have been producing lately. None were "bad" artistically, but this is the best -- seems to radiate out powerfully and with hope.

That just shows how art work (e.g. painting) is "better" than photography, though photography itself is an art.
