revolutionary
Che Guevara
(1928–1967) in popular culture are common throughout the world. Although during his lifetime he was a highly politicized and controversial figure, in death his stylized image has been transformed into a worldwide emblem for an array of causes, representing a complex mesh of sometimes conflicting narratives. Che Guevara's image is viewed as everything from an inspirational icon of revolution, to a retro and vintage logo. Most commonly he is represented by a facial caricature originally by Irish artist
Jim Fitzpatrick
and based on
Alberto Korda
's famous 1960 photograph titled
Guerrillero Heroico
. The evocative
simulacra
abbreviation of the photographic portrait allowed for easy reproduction and instant recognizability across various uses. For many around the world, Che has become a generic symbol of the underdog, the idealist, the
iconoclast
, or the
martyr
. He has become, as author Michael Casey notes in
Che's Afterlife: The Legacy of an Image
, "the quintessential postmodern icon signifying anything to anyone and everything to everyone.
