Accompanied by photographs by Jon Naar, the book laid the groundwork for a new and important type of art that was created anonymously, illegally, and outside the commercial market. This seminal work can now be appreciated by 21st-century readers and viewers for its prophetic and revolutionary force. It simultaneously brings us back to the historic origins of graffiti and reminds us anew of the significance of street art. With a new afterword by Naar, and an updated collection of photographs, THE FAITH OF GRAFFITI works as both a historical document and a vibrant piece of art criticism by one of America's greatest writers.Hide synopsis
