The Art Of Rebellion: The World Of Street Art

by Christian Hundertmark

Street art has taken over the world in recent years. Cities have been "liberated" by artists who are as motivated by the drive to invent new forms of media as they are to create new images. Art of Rebellion features the broadest possible variety of street art including flyers, stickers, spraycan and stencil art, and a host of interesting hybrids that fall somewhere in between. Provocateurs such as Space Invader, Above, Lefunk, Milk, Fume, Hoernchen and East Eric use an amazing variety of techniques to create their own individual iconography in projects as crazy as bathrooms painted gold, battle tanks painted pink and cities plastered with pictures of toasters. The ultimate collection of worldwide street art this remarkable book leaves absolutely nothing sacred.

Really great little book. This volume has a slant more toward figurative work and a heavy lean towards wheat paste over stencil stuff ( don't worry there is a fair amount of that though). Very little traditional street tags so to speak( there is some but its a small amount total). Its really worth the money if you find a copy.

Graffiti is NOTHING to real street art... To see a peice of art thrown up in a unknown urban corner, just for the purpose of beauty, with little or no recognition, just for the purpose of making someone think...
