history graffiti
The word "graffiti" has its origins in the Greek word that means writing graphein. This evolved from the Latin word graffito. Graffiti is the plural form of graffito.
When did the graffiti? For the modern history of graffiti goes back to the 60's when he started in New York, influenced by hip-hop music. The first graffiti artists were devoted to firms, and lived and painted in New York.
One of the first graffiti artists signed TAKI 183 and was interviewed by the New York Times in 1971. His real name was Demetrius and was a young Greek who worked as a messenger in New York. Painted signature in all places where delivering documents and packages. He became famous and many young people began to imitate and look for sites increasingly difficult and striking where to leave your signature. Perhaps the name TAKER used for thick permanent ink markers used by graffiti artists has its origin in the first known graffiti signature, TAKI 183.
Soon, hundreds of young people in New York, especially those attracted to rap music and hip hop, began to sign all over the city, while the authorities had to spend more than $ 300,000 (ie 80,000 hours working) in cleaning meter. The aim of the first graffiti was to leave his signature on the maximum number of possible sites. Gained fame in graffiti circles as the number of signatures, according to the sites that were able to sign. Much more dangerous, more status.
parallel, an artist Keith Haring began to paint his pictures in public places, pasting posters first and then painting directly on walls and subway walls in New York.
As an art so different, Haring became famous, and soon art museums in the city began to exhibit their works. Gradually
street graffiti, inspired by Haring's designs, it was incorporated into the Hip Hop culture, rap and break dancing and began to spread to other countries. Had its strongest during the seventies, but then began to lose popularity. But a decade ago one of the most popular national broadcasters in the United States delivered a television program about the graffiti and suddenly reappeared signatures and graffiti art not only by the United States, but urban sites around the world and especially in European cities.
