Banksy and Che Guevara, same fight? Almost. Except that Banksy never dropped his medical studies, nor killed anyone, nor fomented a revolution in the Congo – well... it seems. This book contains the only collection of photos of Banksy's street art ever assembled. The best. And concocted with love. With, as a bonus, a little text. Much to the chagrin of art schools around the world, there is a good chance that Banksy is the most memorable artist from post-financial crisis Britain of the second millennium. His ability to attract attention and deliver a message that was often well felt and on two levels would certainly have earned him a great job in an advertising agency. But too bad for Madison Avenue and so much the better for us! Whether or not you've heard of Banksy, it's this book – and no other – that you need to feed your counter discussions on the man and his legend. When Banksy started painting, the political landscape was bleak. Fortunately, it is ten times more so today. This is why, at a time when his cheerfully biting political works are more relevant than ever, we have done our best to present his work in the context of the time, and to highlight the issues. That way, the day when, with a bit of luck, Palestine will be a free state and when the schoolchildren of tomorrow will wonder what Banksy was doing in Bethlehem, everything will be perfectly clear. That Banksy leaves to initiate a guerrilla war in Bolivia and that he gets shot in the process? It could well happen... Just as it could also happen that you discover, thanks to this book, who Banksy really is. And if that's your case, go talk to someone who's interested.
