More on Graffitti as Art

I’ve left graffitti alone for a while now on this blog but this quirky and interesting poster that depicts (in flowchart style) the history of graffiti art styles prompted me to go back to the streets for some art inspiration.

The poster has been produced to promote the exhibition PANTHEON: A history of art from the streets of New York City NYC where, on 2 April 2011, 33 graffiti writers and street artists will unite to reclaim the former Donnell Library as a repository of visual information on the growing world-wide phenomenon of street art.

The organizers say that this exhibition will present an art historical timeline that is a part of New York City’s unique legacy. The artistic contribution of these cultural catalysts and preservationists from the 70’s to the new millennium will address the ever-changing urban landscape and alternative modes of producing art in the streets.

Anyway, here’s another bit of cool graffiti to enjoy.
