Graffiti Art in New York City And it’s Subways

We all know what graffiti art is, but I think that "modern" graffiti art is sometimes seen, so I know. However, graffiti art dates back to 1851. First of all, graffiti comes from Italian "graffiti" meaning scratch. "In addition, the shape of the early graffiti was also seen in the ancient ruins of Pompeii in ancient Italy in 1851." Pictorial and other forms of graffiti paintings are common today in Rome today.

In the late 1960s, young people in New York City are said to have begun "modern" street art (graffiti) when drawing a picture on the wall with a felt tip pen to draw attention of girls. Because art must be done very quickly before being found and arrested for vandalism. "Authority" tries to clean it with white, and removes it with paint, but there will often be faint ghosts under the paint. In the 1980s, artists started using templates. This helped speed up the process and reduce the risk of being caught. Several arts are so wonderful that eventually several graffiti artists will be invited to create their arts in the gallery and it will be "high" art, they will be famous

In the late 20th century, graffiti became very prominent in New York. Urban complexes are defined by large, complex and colorful graffiti created by painting on building walls and subway cars. The charm of the art world of artists working outside the traditional gallery channel stimulated interest in this form of self expression. In the 1980's New York artists such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat were famous for graffiti. This recognition is due to the success of painters represented by top galleries.

Henry Chalfant is one of the most important supporters of contemporary graffiti and co-authored books such as documentary "Style War", "Metro Art" and "Spray Art". His latest work is a graffiti archive of Henry Chalfant. New York city subway arts and artists are exhibiting more than 800 pictures of New York subway graffiti art. Keith Haring is a famous graffiti artist that makes pop art and graffiti the mainstream of business. In the 1980s, Haring opened his first pop shop. It is a store where everyone can access his work until painted on the wall. In the pop shop, items such as bags and T - shirts are sold. Harlem says, "Pop store makes my work easier to use.This is an important aspect of participation.The important thing is that we do not want to make art more exciting, in other words this is still art .statement."
