PASSAGE 3
The history of Graffiti
A. The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago. Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their names and protest poems on buildings. Modern graffiti seems lớn have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the late sixties it had reached Thành Phố New York. The new art khuông really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names, or ‘tags’, on buildings all over the thành phố. In the mid seventies it was sometimes hard lớn see out of a subway xế hộp window, because the trains were completely covered in spray paintings known as ‘masterpieces’.
B. In the early days, the ‘taggers’ were part of street gangs who were concerned with marking their territory. They worked in groups called ‘crews’, and called what they did ‘writing’ – the term ‘graffiti’ was first used by The Thành Phố New York Times and the novelist Norman Mailer. Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time that it began lớn be regarded as an art khuông, John Lindsay, the then mayor of Thành Phố New York, declared the first war on graffiti. By the
1980s it became much harder lớn write on subway trains without being caught, and instead many of the more established graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings or canvases.
C debate over whether graffiti is art or vandalism is still going on. Peter Vallone, a New York thành phố councillor, thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone else’s property it becomes a crime. ‘I have a message for the graffiti vandals out there,’ he said recently. ‘Your freedom of expression ends where my property begins.’ On the other hand, Felix, a thành viên of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City, says that artists are reclaiming cities for the public from advertisers, and that graffiti represents freedom and makes cities more vibrant.
D. For decades graffiti has been a springboard lớn international fame for a few. Jean-Michel Basquiat began spraying on the street in the 1970s before becoming a respected artist in the ’80s. The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have achieved international fame by producing complex works with stencils, often making political or humorous points. Works by Banksy have been sold for over £100,000. Graffiti is now sometimes big business.
