Best Answer

Graffiti has been around since men could draw on walls. Caves from 30,000 years ago often exhibit over endowed men and beautiful (by the standards of the time) women. It could be argued that these were some of the first tags

Modern graffiti art came from New York City in the late 1970's. Artists refined their techniques and use of spray paint to turn what was once a marker of territory into a true art form. Graffiti art has been recognized in the fine art world since the first graffiti-centered gallery opened in Rome in 1979. This exhibition introduced New York's underground scene to the world, and today graffiti artists are some of the most popular on the pop-art scene.

What is the difference between graffiti and graffiti art?

graffiti takes its name from Latin *graphīre to write . There are so many forms of it that just saying it is all graffiti is almost the same as saying any form of music is just noise. Is graffiti art? i would argue that by its definition it is. As far as saying one is breaking the law and the other is artwork , i believe that falls upon local laws not in the name itself. All forms of graffiti are forms of expression and that is by definition art . so your answer is no there is no difference between graffiti and graffiti art

Why is graffiti vandalisim?

Graffiti is only vandalism when it is created without commission on private property or in public places where it is not a protected art form. Many cities have laws that protect graffiti in certain places, like Venice Beach and 5Pointz in Queens. Graffiti art itself is not vandalism and is not illegal. There have been several well-known gallery shows featuring graffiti around the world, design houses like Elite Gudz that expand on art form to include fine art and comics, and books that showcase and analyze public street art, and books like The Faith of Graffiti that focus on pieces and graffiti art theory.
