Graffiti: Street Art before, now home to museums


The art is a consequência of the soul human being who does not ask for license to sprout in no place. With elegance or ugliness. Kept out of society or legally recognized. More conceptual or less conceptual. At last: it simply appears and if she makes to recognize as art and end point. The art is the expression of the soul of the human being, the consequence of its aspiration and of its affinity or reluctance it stops with the terrestrial way where it lives. E one of the artistic expressions contemporaries who more have fascinated is the graphite, for its capacity to load more explicit messages and for the volume of creativity that its respective artists - the majority anonymous - it has shown in the walls of great urban centers e, currently, even in the galleries of the museums. Yes, they want or not, already one is about an authentic artistic niche, of a source of the art friction contemporary.

The graphite was, initially in years 70, an expression that appeared as form of protest and anarquismo inside of the redoubts of hip hop American - using inks aerosol or spray, the young blacks of the Bronx writed messages and images in walls, building and trains of the subway with critical to the government and the system as a whole. From years 80, hip hop not more passed to be seen as a musical style of the streets or a music delinquent, but yes a new style that could be sophisticated and be molded to the intentions of the market as new of the call “a culture of media”. If in U.S.A. until the young whites of middle-class they were adhering to the style of hip hop, meant that the style - and the philosophy as a whole - had a great power to absorb the aspirations of new youths in any place of the world where the musical appreciation and the social manifestations were free. It was, then, that rap and hip hop had quickly been spread for the world all through the globalization, that allowed with that recorders - Columbia, Sony, Verve - exported them as the new proposals of fashion and music of the world pop, from years 80 and 90. E the graphite, as well as the style hip hop of if dressing and the respective dance called break, was exported next to rap to the biggest centers of the world: it was as the young would have to express front to the unjust society where they lived; it was the stigma of the revolt of a new youth you give to exceed century 21, as well as the rock had been in years 60 for the youth of the time. In the book the Culture of the Media of the American philosopher Douglas Kellner, has dedicated chapters entire to the impacts of the culture pop and of black music, cartoons and quadrinhos, blaxploitation, as well as of the graphite, rap and its tributaries, with mention also of the jazz as one of the possible sources of origin next to funk, has seen that rapper Gill Scott-Heron it was a autêtico musician of jazz in its beginning of career and, later, was considered a “watershed” for the new style of rhythm'n'poetry that it would appear from middle of the decade of 70: rap.
