This beautiful book presents the first history of graffiti ever written, based on a chronological and illustrated panorama. Traveling through time, from the caves of Lascaux to the first decade of the 21st century, traveling across the 5 continents, he deciphers the street art movement by giving the reader all the keys to understanding. From Bolshevik propaganda to the emergence of popular culture in the United States, from the New York subway to Parisian galleries, passing through the walls of revolt in Chile or Berlin, this book shows how graffiti, between recognition and repression, weaves links with history.
