Girls of Graffiti

Publisher Alternatives
Category Art
Featuring 47 individual entries, this book pays tribute to the girls of French graffiti, from the '80s to the present.

In this predominantly male field, some clichés have proved stubborn. Girls lack technique, can't run as fast... Clerc and Derquenne debunk these and other prejudices, interviewing their sisters in street art. Their accounts bear witness to personal experience and shared passion for a demanding discipline. Through over a hundred photos, style—whether feminine or asexual—decisively attests to a love of letters and their infinite graphic possibilities.
This book presents a multi-faceted portrait of hitherto unrecognized artistic creation. It's high time the girls of graffiti stepped into the spotlight.
