Scriptura: Graffiti. No.99 / Hans Adolf Halbey, editor., 1998

 Item
Identifier: CC-31276-32747
Scope and Contents

The images for each month of the year 1999 are colored photographs of graffeti on walls. Halby writes in his essay that the birth of graffiti can be traced to the fifties in New York when young Puerto Rican immigrants protested and drew attention to their desolate condition by spray painting the windows on subway cars. They worked with hectic speed and used bizarre interlocking angular or round letters and signs that came from the world of comics. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
