Summary:
Première étude détaillée consacrée à l'histoire d'un art qui se crée dans la rue depuis plus de quarante ans et ne cesse de modifier notre expérience de la ville, Street art et graffiti dresse le portrait de cette pratique artistique. Comprendre le graffiti, sa philosophie, ses techniques et son vocabulaire est d'autant plus essentiel que cet art, fondé sur la clandestinité et l'anonymat, ne s'adresse pas a priori au grand public. Connaître son évolution permet de comprendre en quoi il a ouvert la voie au street art - pratique éminemment protéiforme qui souvent conjugue contestation et poésie et fait désormais partie, comme le graffiti, de l'art de notre temps. Banksy, Blek le Rat, Faile, Invader, Miss Van, Os Gêmeos, Shepard Fairey ou encore Swoon sont quelques-uns des graffeurs et street artists dont les créations sont analysées dans cet ouvrage qui s'adresse à tous les curieux de culture visuelle contemporaine.

Summary:
The now global phenomenon of graffiti was first captured in New York by a professional photographer in early 1973. The result was Jon Naar's The Faith of Graffiti, the first and most celebrated book about this controversial new art form. Now the forty or so photographs in that book and more than one hundred additional never-before-published pictures from that landmark body of work are brought together in a book destined to become a classic in its own right. Presented full-frame, at high resolution, and with meticulous attention to the original color, this book brings to life the gritty, exciting New York of the early 1970s and the raw visual power of early graffiti. While today graffiti is an accepted reality of city life--by turns condemned and embraced--these early photographs recall a time when subway cars and tenement walls seemed to explode overnight into bursts of color and energy. In most cases these ephemeral works survive only in Naar's masterful photographs. Sacha Jenkins, an authority on graffiti's history, puts these photographs in a broad historical context of an emerging youth culture that now reaches into every corner of art, fashion, and entertainment. At once nostalgic and inspirational, The Birth of Graffiti opens the way to a deeper appreciation of graffiti's historical and artistic significance.

Summary:
The walls of the Reichstag are covered with graffiti, written by victorious Soviet soldiers in 1945. Hidden for 30 years, the Reichstag graffiti were rediscovered by Norman Foster and his team when they began work on the building in 1995. They were preserved as part of Foster’s concept of the Reichstag as a ‘living museum’ of German history. Published at a time when the graffiti are threatened with eradication, this book offers an important visual and literary record. Deborah Lipstadt considers the arguments for and against the preservation of the graffiti: is the preservation, as some charge, "morally offensive" and "masochistic" or does it indicate a brave determination not to forget the tragedies of the past? And what does it mean and say about Germany today? Frederick Baker considers the graffiti as a monument to the individual and offers an historical account of the Battle of Berlin through the eyes of Red Army soldiers as they approached their ultimate goal, including the soldier who first raised the Red Flag above the Reichstag. This illustrated volume allows the inscriptions to be made accessible and understandable to a wider public for the first time.

Summary:
Ever since anonymous spray-can art began appearing on city walls in New York and Philadelphia in the late 1960s, graffiti has been a ubiquitous presence in the urban landscape, its artists largely unsung heroes. As hip-hop culture spread from America, graffiti became a worldwide phenomenon, emerging in the 1980s as the symbolic artistic language of young people everywhere and one of the most potent influences on youth-oriented marketing and design. With more than 2,000 illustrations by over 150 artists from all over the world and interviews with many of them, this book is the most comprehensive survey of graffiti art ever published. Today's young graffiti artists incorporate a variety of mediums—including stickers, stencils, oils, acrylics, and oil-based chalk—as well as an ever-expanding range of social commentary. This evolution in style and subject matter has earned graffiti the respect of the art world and guaranteed its long-lasting influence on art, graphic design, and style around the world.

Summary:
Voilà maintenant quarante ans que le graffiti moderne s'est emparé de nos métropoles. Tendance de l'art urbain, le sticker art a connu un développement récent tel qu'il supplante parfois le graffiti classique. Tout en introduisant une forme d'expression nouvelle, les autocollants et affiches, faciles et rapides à coller, permettent une diffusion sensiblement plus importante. Expliquer l'incroyable ascension du sticker art tout en retraçant de manière engageante une scène vaste et mouvante est l'une des premières ambitions de ce livre. C'est donc un échantillon de techniques et d'artistes qui est présenté ici, des pionniers tels Swoon, Shepard Fairey et Invader, jusqu'aux stars montantes.
