История уличного искусства

Современные граффити появились в больших городах США в 1970-х годах. В Нью-Йорке молодые люди писали свои имена, или «теги», ручкой на стенах по всему городу. Одним из первых «теггеров» был подросток по имени Деметриус. Его тег — TAKI 183. Он писал свой тег на стенах и на станциях Нью-Йорка. Другие подростки увидели тег Деметриуса и тоже начали писать свои теги. Вскоре теги появились на стенах, автобусах и поездах по всему Нью-Йорку. Затем некоторые подростки начали писать свои теги аэрозольной краской. Их теги были больше и ярче. Граффити с использованием аэрозольной краски стало очень популярным в 1970-х и 1980-х годах. Оно появлялось на поездах, автобусах и стенах по всему миру. В 1990-х и 2000-х годах многие художники-граффитисты начали создавать картины. Картины некоторых художников были посвящены политике. Другие художники хотели сделать города красивыми.
