The History of Graffiti
Graffiti art developed in the 1970s in New York before gaining popularity all over the world. This art originally consists of painting or drawing on the surfaces of the urban space. Graffiti encompasses many styles and techniques. The tag is considered the purest form: it consists of inscribing the name of the artist in a bold and graphic style. With time, the graffiti art took on different forms, and expression became far freer with the forms resembling abstraction. Generally, graffiti painting is an art rich in colors, shapes and textual elements. Unlike street art, which is broadly defined as an art which makes use of a wide range of mediums, ranging from stencils to video projections, graffiti is characterized by the inscription of textual elements in an urban space. Long perceived negatively, the genre of the graffiti painting has gradually been recognized as a form of fine art: famous modern and contemporary artists such as Basquiat or Haring have been largely inspired by this movement, and today their graffiti paintings are exhibited in the most important museums in the world. In the same way, many graffiti artists have transposed their talent from the walls of the street to graffiti canvases which they exhibit in galleries.
