LEBANON: GRAFFITI

Daily Star-Lebanon: Graffiti artists: a missing breed in Lebanon


BEIRUT: Throughout human history, art and self-expression have been largely confined to the public spaces society has deemed appropriate. Certain forms of art, though, are not easily confined to specific outlets, nor readily limited to gallery walls.

Graffiti is such an art form, though many would not equate it with art - but then, some would say the same of modern art compared to classical Impressionism. The issue with graffiti is whether it can be considered art in all its manifestations.
