Book Reviews of Wall and Piece
Book Review: bansky overview
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been following Banksy for quite some time now, mostly through his own website but when I received this book it had much more in it then I had seen before.
My favourite part is a summary (with pictures) of al the museums he's been to, where he tried to put up some of his own art.
The book is mainly pictures, with some quotes and short stories, for anybody who knows Banksy, it really is worth while! If you don't know Banksy but like rebelious art, it is worth your while!
Book Review: Inspirational! Banksy is a REAL artist!
Summary: 5 Stars
My favorite quote from the book:
"Any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It belongs to you. It's yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head."
Real art should be FREE! Free of conceit, free to let the viewer interpret, free of profit as a motivation and free to the public!
Thank you, Banksy, for keeping it free and real.
Book Review: Incredible
Summary: 5 Stars
It was a quick read of course, but the pictures and ideas in it will keep my mind running for a long time. Had to get it shipped from the UK since you'd be pressed to find it in the US surprisingly. Dunno why you can't find it anywhere here, especially since some his art has been in New York and in the US. Anyway, loved the book. It gave me a better look into why Banksy does what he does and I got a clearer idea of his messages. The tips in the back gave me some good ideas too.Book Review: yep
Summary: 5 Stars
it is interesting and entertaining. the stuff he does is really cool. some of them are a bit strange, but others are hilarious. he likes to make fun of various people and things, so someone who is a bobby, or british cop, might not like it as much. otherwise, he just does stuff for fun, such as writing "what are you looking at?" in front of a security camera. its fun to just look through the stuff he's done. he is an amazing artist. and very creative guy.Book Review: Like a how-to for stenciling
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great. Page after page after page of stencils and stories. There are so many things to look at, it's well-organized, and includes a little something to read on almost every page. Some of the things in this book made me laugh, and other pages really made me think about the world I live in. I guess that's the point.
If you want to get into stencil painting, this book will open your eyes and give you lots to think about.
