Graffiti Art
I have mixed feelings about Graffiti. Now, I think Urban Planners who promote the Broken Window philosophy exaggerate greatly the pervasively negative social impact of graffiti. On the other hand, art and art only theorists overlook the fact it is a defacement of public property. I was a wandering by Journal Square and came to this empty lot and took this picture and when I cropped up close to the lettering, it’s obvious that a real talent is at work here. I guess this is tagged. I don’t know what the answer is, but I hope that answer is a way to make use of this form of expression—obviously, it’s art—instead of just handing out sentences.
