The problem is, people read a book like "Subway Art", and think that's what the graffiti in the subway looked like, when in fact, lestt than 1% of the subway looked like the images in 'Subway Art" and books like that. And even those images in books like that after about a few weeks, were covered on top of the murals in their entirety with the garbage graffiti that filled 99% of the system.There was no "Subway Art", only vandalism. Unfotunately books like that (written when graffiti was still around by the way) glorify the graffiti that constituted less than 1% of the graffiti and vandalism that was out there. That's the thing that people that only "read" about it or look at photos can't understand unless they lived it. |
