High art, pro-Mousavi election poster by artist Mehdi Davaei. The fan is a decades old design, with chipped paint on the base. Except for the green ribbon, the picture is in old-fashioned black and white. The blades aren’t moving. This work transcends political advertising.

This poster is worth collecting.
