EL ALFABETO DEL GRAFITI

Graffiti writing was born in the streets of Philadelphia in the late 1960s. But it was in New York in the early 1970s that it became a full-fledged urban art. Passionate about graffiti for 25 years, Woshe tells the reader, in the first section of this book, the incredible story of the birth of this culture. He then invites us to a detailed examination of the 26 letters of the alphabet, their structure and the evolutions contributed by the graffiti writers. Finally, 10 of the most talented creators on the international scene answer to Woshe’s questions about their practice, their relationship to letters, their culture references, and so on. Alphabeatz is both a writing manual, an inspiring ideas box, and a beautiful book on the world of graffiti.
