Subway Art

Aiight, if anyone thinks that this isn't a GREAT "2nd Coming" of Subway Art, they're either Jaded or Jealous.1st of all this book is no -8 1/2 by 11 toss it in yr backpack, bite it and wish you was that dope-type of experience. This FoMo is a genuine coffee table banger, with Clear Large Photos, some old/some new, but even the old ones are new: "Playing on a Wrecked Train" has a Blade Tag that I never seent before, and MIN One is in that Flick!!!WTF!!!I NEVER comprehended him there. That was ill-E to me, cuz like many I have scoured Subway Art for Everything it has. Now I look back and sho'nuff there he is.Anyways for all the things I wanted to see(a couple more of the classic "Names" pages[there's one] or for instance a dedicated page for the apologies and mistakes like too cold and got chased[there's none])...well for all of my Wants and Wishes, the whole of this book Makes Up For It Like a Mountain Climber. In fact I've ordered another copy just to put in a plastic bag, cause this book Should be on the coffee table, and it Should be Kept with the spine unbroken, just for collectors sake.The Only other issue is it seems the colors have been tweeked a lil bit to make the pics pop; no hate tho it's just a observation5 Starseasyand Order it here now cuz this book is worth All of the $40 it's priced at. I'd actually say at least $50 for real.What it Done is What it Do, FSwift been suggested this book for you. PLUS The Man-JSon's and Richie's Happy Holidays car is in full effect and looking mad spec-tacular..Crisp....=](nice review Brother, and Plus Props For DaysBless

As a New Yorker I remember those graffitied trains back in the day. Beautiful art during difficult times.

This book has photography by 2 photographers who were devoted to capturing graffiti art at a time when lots of people, even the artists, did not know what it was. It documents art that was created in New York City at a unique time when graffiti for the purpose of art was being produce on trains. There were no galleries for Graffiti art so what a better way than to have your work shown than to paint it on a train that went throughout all of the city and suburbs. This was the start of spreading graffiti art around the world.

Subway Art Book is a part of my history. This was the book that all of us Graffiti writers tried to get our hands on. It was sold only in Art Supply Stores, But was always sold out.

My grandson chose this as his Christmas present. He was very happy with his choice.

A classic book full of history, and it’s huge!

This book was a gift for my father, who is deeply in love with the art of artistic expression from the urban underclass, and is apart of it. He loved it. It features beautiful shots of pieces on the cars of trains, pictures of well known artists such as Skeme, Lady Pink, Zephyr, and more. This book is great for you if you share the same love for the art form, and also if you're a fan of art in general.

The only thing that keeps this from being a 5-star review is that it left me wanting to know more about the artists. I wish there were even a dozen pages devoted to the people who created this art. But this is one beautiful book, I'll just find something to satisfy my curiosity about the creators.
