Banksy - Flag Silver - Meaning and Analysis of the Artwork

This amazing artwork by Banksy, Flag Silver represents a group of children standing on top of an old demised car, raising the American flag. 

The composition is pyramidal, featuring the car as its base and culminating in the flag of the United States.  Black and silver are the only colours of Sliver Flag; in the background a big, central sun enhances a sense of melancholy instead of warmth.

The street artist was inspired by Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima a famous photograph by Joe Rosenthal taken during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. Six American soldiers were raising a victory flag over the battlefield and now Banksy overturns the image, representing children raising a silver flag.

Flag thus becomes a caricature of Rosenthal's shot: the atmosphere is no longer victorious, but gloomy. Banksy seems to tell of a marginalized youth in the suburbs, lost and without guidance.

The real meaning of this work lies in the criticism of war. It is neither heroic nor glorious, but a massacre. Banksy thus reveals the misery behind an armed conflict and harshly criticises the media and the government for depicting war under a deceptively positive and necessary light.

History of the Artwork of Banksy - Flag Silver

This splendid artwork never appeared in the streets as graffiti, but was first showed in December 2006 in London in Santa's Ghetto exhibit. Banksy presented in this occasion Flag in the silver version. The same theme only exists in another edition with black background and golden subjects.

Criticism of war is a constant theme in Banksy's art and it is the leitmotiv of many of his other works. It is the basis for example of Bomb Hugger, another masterpiece by the Bristol street artist in which a little girl embraces a bomb as if it was her favourite toy.

Banksy's intervention in Gaza in 2015 was also a manifesto against the war, in which the street artist intervened in the devastated territory of the conflict with many murals that openly criticize war and its disastrous effects.
