The now global phenomenon of graffiti was first
captured in New York by a professional photographer, Jon Naar, in
early 1973. The Faith of Graffiti, the first and most celebrated
book about this controversial new art form, reproduced just over
forty selections from the hundreds of photographs he took. Now more
than one hundred thirty never-before-published pictures from that
landmark body of work, together with a selection of key photographs
from The Faith of Graffiti, are brought together in a book destined
to become a classic in its own right. Presented full-frame, at high
resolution, and with meticulous attention to the original color,
this book brings to life the gritty, exciting New York of the early
1970s and the raw visual power of early graffiti.
These photographs recall a time when subway cars and tenement
walls seemed to explode overnight into bursts of color and energy.
Today these ephemeral works survive only in Naar's masterful
photographs. Sacha Jenkins, an authority on graffiti's history,
places these pictures within an emerging youth culture that now
reaches into every corner of art, fashion, and
entertainment.
