Another top book from Mr Manco
This book explores the vibrant graffiti "scene" in Brazil.

As with the other books by Tristan Manco (Stencil Graffiti & Street Logos) it is packed from cover to cover with colour shots of all types of graffiti art - broken down into different types of graffiti as well as having pages dedicated to individual artists.

In addition there's also plenty of historical perspective and comments from artists involved to read too.

Being a fan of graffiti and also of Brazilian culture in general (mainly through it's musical output and football teams from the 70's) this has opened my eyes to their street culture today - a distillation of hundreds of years of absorbing people and modifying their cultures, art & music to make something uniquely Brazilian.

A great book.
