Graffiti from the ancient world to the present day Automatic translate

Street art has firmly entered our hearts, walls of houses and porches. Some people honor the light of home-grown artists, others admire the new painting on the corner of the neighboring house, and still others get up early in the morning while the city is still sleeping, but the morning sun is already painting the walls, preparing them for a new portion of inspiration. And there are no people who are not involved in this miracle, which means that all of us, one way or another, are involved in this bright colorful world called "Graffiti".

Few people know that behind the hooligan antics of adolescents lies a thousand-year history of cave paintings. It is from cave painting, from wall drawings that the world learns the details of its history.

Ancient graffiti was performed inside dark sacred caves during sacrifices or ritual rites.

From cave painting, mankind learned that there was such a language as Safsky. It is still studied by cave art.

Antique brothels advertised their services also with the help of ancient graffiti. If a hand, a leg and a number were depicted on the wall in Ephesus, it meant that somewhere there was a brothel nearby. Leg to go, arm to take money…

Then not only drawings appeared, but also inscriptions. Politicians wrote their political slogans, philosophers scribbled their sayings and ordinary mortals wrote their letters in Latin. So the world recognized, even though illiterate, but the Latin language is not a book sample.

What can I say, even the plaintive book of the ancient Pompeii tavern was located on the wall near the counter. There, those dissatisfied with the service could write their indignation and perpetuate with an unkind word the negligent owner of the tavern.

We offer order a portrait or cartoon from a photograph by a professional artist. To do this, just send a letter with a brief description and attach a photo.

The great Renaissance artists Raphael and Michelangelo left their painted names on the ruins of the house of Nero. And even Soviet soldiers left their inscriptions on the walls of the defeated Reichstag.

So the story of graffiti is not the story of youth hip-hop culture. Graffiti is a way to comprehend the world.

Today’s graffiti awaits us in a variety of places, from the walls of the elevator, the porch, the house, to the wall painting in offices and houses. Graffiti is closely involved in politics. So, in Donetsk you can see graffiti with the image of the president. The drawing itself can hardly be called unambiguous and anyone can interpret it as you wish, but still…

As in the ancient world, people draw on the walls what excites them. And the graffiti can easily read our life today, as it is. Without distorting sources, without analyzing politicians and analysts, the truth is all as it is, without censorship.

The 17th-century Scottish castle of Kelburn in 2007 was painted by Brazilian graffiti artists at the request of the castle’s owner, Earl of Glasgow Patrick Boyle, when the walls of the building needed urgent protection from environmental influences. It was planned that graffiti on the walls of the castle was a temporary measure, but Boyle liked the result so much that in 2011 he appealed to the Glasgow authorities for permission to leave the exterior of the castle in its present form, because they made Kalburn the most unusual castle in the world.
