Review by Library Journal Review

This book is part art survey and part art how-to guide on aerosol spray paint. Curator and art writer Zimmer begins with a short history of canned spray paint as an art medium and weaves additional background information, appropriately touching on social contexts and the interplay between street style and "high culture" art, which developed around the form in the 1980s. Chapters focus on graffiti, murals, stencils, graphic design, figurative work, abstracts, and mixed media. Each has a "DIY" section with step-by-step projects, often featuring well-known spray paint artists at work in the field or in their studios. VERDICT This book will suit various types of readers, whether they want to learn complicated spray paint techniques, execute their own DIY projects, or just appreciate beautiful paintings. © Copyright 2017.
