A small history about Graffiti
For most people, the word “graffiti” conjures an image of vandalism: a building or wall sullied by the unintelligible and unsightly scrawl of spray-painted letters -- a word or a name -- menacingly slashed, like knife wounds, across a previously blank space.
In fact, writing on walls is the oldest form of human expression.
The word graffiti is derived from the Italian word “graffio,” which means “to scratch,” and it has been around since the beginning of mankind.
Prehistoric man scratched the cave wall with flint or pieces of bone and even used a form of spray paint created by blowing colored powder through hollowed objects.
Modern graffiti arose through the NY hip hop culture during the 70’s and today is globally viewed and considered to be a valid artistic form of expression.
Many leading post-modernist galleries around the world (including, here in America, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim in NYC) regularly maintain collections of graffiti art for showing so that graffiti is largely embraced as a modern art form.
As a modern art form, graffiti art decorates and enhances public spaces rather than spoils them.
