Sorry. But the discussion surrounding graffiti as an art form is usually about that brief. Either graffiti is art or it’s crime. Occasionally someone will summon enough mental acuity to define it as both. On very rare occasions the conversation gets more in depth. Whatever the case, this once underground art form is officially emerging as a pop culture phenomenon, and more and more people are talking about graffiti and its place in the world of art.
