The Popular History of Graffiti. By Fiona McDonald. First Edition, First Printing. Skyhorse Publishing. New York, 2013.

Graffiti is one of the oldest visual artforms in human history. Today we associate it with street art, spray paint, and urban culture, but in its broadest and historic sense, graffiti includes everything from petroglyphs to notes on a bathroom stall to fantastic public murals. Like all artforms, graffiti has also experienced many artistic movements and developments over time. In this volume, The Popular History of Graffiti: From the Ancient World to the Present, author Fiona McDonald traces those developments and tells a fuller picture of the artform. Alongside the text are numerous photographs depicting many forms of graffiti. The work is a spectacular, authoritative history on this subversive artform.
