Bomb It!: The Story of Graffiti Art [9780500030349]

Overview

{"p":[{"em":"Bomb It!"},"This exciting volume takes readers to the dark subway tunnels and train cars where graffiti flourished as an underground art. It follows the birth of rap, breakdancing, and hip-hop culture in the 1980s and how these urban art forms grew out of the graffiti movement. The story chronicles artist Jean-Michel Basquiat’s rise and fall, the fated romance between West Coast artists Margaret Kilgallen and Barry McGee, and the commercial 1990s, with Futura and other graffiti artists working for record and fashion labels.","At the turn of the millennium graffiti culture had spread all over the world, from Invader and Blek le Rat on the streets of Paris to OSGEMEOS painting skyscrapers in São Paulo. The book explores the tension between the old-guard graffiti artists who stuck to the streets, and those who found successful commercial careers. Graffiti will be with us always, with the power to challenge the status quo and question authority—and now its story can be told in a remarkable graphic format that will appeal to both aficionados and those just learning about this incredible art form."]}
