In Hank Willis Thomas’s series Fair Warning, he has extracted figures from cigarette advertisements and consolidated them on single pages, sometimes in a playful arc or pyramid. Glamorous African American women, dressed in evening gowns and silky pantsuits, lock eyes with the viewer while smiling happily and kicking up their heels in pleasure. Thomas demonstrates how smoking is made to appear sophisticated and stylish in order to coerce members of the Black community into adopting a deadly habit.
