Aug 17, 2017 11:00 AM UTC  Illustration by Edel Rodriguez for TIME For the [Aug. 28 issue of TIME on hate in America](http://time.com/magazine) we turned to artist [Edel Rodriguez](http://edelr.com/) to create a cover to capture the aftermath of the Charlottesville tragedy. With his bold, graphic approach, Rodriguez depicts a protester giving a Nazi salute while draped in an American flag. “These people are hiding behind the flag and the idea of patriotism it connotes. They have tried to change the language from ‘White Supremacist’ to ‘White Nationalist,’ to further hide behind the flag, and the idea of patriotism,” says Rodriguez, a Cuban American artist. “But they are espousing the same views as always.” This is his fourth TIME cover in the past two years, including one depicting the [Eiffel Tower’s shadow](http://time.com/paris-attack/) following the 2015 attacks on Paris, and a two-part series of covers on [Trump’s “Meltdown”](http://time.com/4529509/inside-donald-trumps-latest-meltdown/) during the campaign. The last one of that series was named [Best Cover of the Year in 2017 by the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME)](http://time.com/4664419/time-meltdown-best-cover/).  “They are taking advantage of what the flag guarantees them—freedom of speech—to further an agenda of hatred,” says Rodriguez, who was recently named one of the [Top 50 Creatives by Advertising Age](http://adage.com/article/news/creativity-50-2016-creative-people-year/307209/). “It’s very coy, with a wink and a nod, but very dangerous.” Rodriguez has illustrated nine children’s books, two of which he has written. He has also created several stamps for the U.S. Postal Service and has illustrated poster and advertising campaigns for many operas, films, and Broadway shows. His artwork resides in the collections of a variety of institutions, including the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C., as well as in numerous private collections. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4903680/edel-rodriguez-time-cover/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4903680/edel-rodriguez-time-cover/"},"headline":"Behind TIME’s ‘Hate in America’ Cover","datePublished":"2017-08-17T11:00:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:44:39.358Z","description":"Artist Edel Rodgriguez depicts the aftermath of Charlottesville for the new cover of TIME","url":"https://time.com/4903680/edel-rodriguez-time-cover/","keywords":["photography","Donald Trump","Charlottesville","LightBox"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"D.W.
