The Beautiful Walls Summary

The Beautiful Walls: Photographic Elevations of Street Art in Los Angeles, Berlin, and Paris by Larry Yust

Graffiti is a forceful way of inscribing presence or being in the world as well as a means of creating affective links to the potency of natural wonders, religious shrines, and ancient ruins as well as the contemporary cityscape. The photographic elevations presented in this volume represent a graffiti-punctuated pilgrim's progress built around the aesthetics of defacement. Graffiti- and mural-covered walls, buildings, automobiles, and railcars are the artful wonders, the vibrant shrines, and the dynamic ruins that structured Larry Yust's pilgrimage to some of the most famed metropolitan centers of the world. He has brought back panoramic souvenirs; vistas that let us be there in a way that is perhaps better than being there. This book celebrates the artistry and audacity of the taggers and uncommissioned muralists who decorate and deface contemporary cities.

The Beautiful Walls Reviews

This book's wide pages unfold to reveal multi-book views of densely painted and wheat-pasted surfaces. Yust's short statements accompany each image to tell the story of discovering graffiti.
