The format is mainly interviews with the artists with tons of stunning photographs. After reading it you will never look at graffiti in the same way again. The author really gets into the world of these "writers", as they call themselves. I was surprised to learn they have a code of ethics, a very respected lineage, a structured way of organizing their work, and are anti-gang (although much of their lettering is influenced by them). I left the book with mixed emotions. On the one hand, these are individuals engaging in an illegal activity (vandalism). On the other, they are some of the most talented artists in society, and most use the graffiti lifestyle as an alternative to more violent outlets. As with any great book, it leaves you thinking about a lot of things. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Long before graffiti was adopted as the visual expression of hip-hop culture in the 1980s, Chicano gang members in East Los Angeles had been developing stylized calligraphy and writing on walls. Cholo (gangster) scripts became the first distinctive letter forms to evolve in the modern vernacular tradition of graffiti writing. Today Los Angeles writers of diverse backgrounds draw from a unique confluence of cultures that has led to regionally distinctive styles. This book provides a comprehensive and visual history of graffiti in Los Angeles, dating back to the 1930s, as well as an in-depth examination of the myriad styles and techniques used by writers today. Complementing the main text, interviews with L.A.'s most prolific and infamous writers provide insight into the lives of these fugitive artists.--From publisher description.
