9781578068692: Tattooed Walls

Synopsis

The contemporary graffiti murals in "Tattooed Walls" depict a wide range of human emotions and conditions. They celebrate life and they mourn death, express religious devotion or declare gang rivalries, and, some simply bring a splash of colour to a drab neighbourhood wall. The original medium of renowned artists such as Keith Haring and Jean Basquiat, graffiti murals are an ever-changing artistic back-drop to the modern metropolis. This volume features over 100 full-colour photographs of an art form that is frequently gone before it can be recognised and celebrated.
