Book Reviews of Stencil Graffiti (Street Graphics / Street Art)
Book Review: Eye-catching expressions of spray-paint and stencil graffiti
Summary: 5 Stars
Presented by graphic artist and director of Tijuana Design Tristan Manco (Bristol, United Kingdom), Stencil Graffiti is a vibrant artbook showcasing unique, original, sometimes provocative, always eye-catching expressions of spray-paint and stencil graffiti. Some introductory essays help familiarize the non-specialist general reader with various settings and graffiti artists, but the majority of this superbly presented book is given over to extensive photographs of the artwork itself. A few mature themes present themselves in this book filled cover to cover with unforgettable imagery. Stencil Graffiti is an enthusiastically recommended addition to art school and community library contemporary art history collections.
Summary of Stencil Graffiti (Street Graphics / Street Art)
In Stencil Graffiti, the first book to examine comprehensively this design phenomenon, Tristan Manco traces the history of stencil art and provides an exciting and thorough overview of the medium. His introduction traces the history of the form, from cave paintings, Chinese silks and Egyptian pyramids to Art Nouveau pochoirs and the Pop art forerunners of stencil art, and then proceeds to a specific history of Stencil Graffiti, tracing its genesis in the Italian fascist propaganda of the 1940s and Basque and Mexican political protests of the 1970s, and examining Stencil Style (typography, functional stencilling, street signage, advertising, decoration). The core of the book is the state of Stencil Graffiti today, from Pop Art to individual street artists' work plus spreads arranged by theme/subject.Graphic Design Books
