Newspaper Article citation and Annotation on Graffiti

“Johnson, Ken. "Writing Was on the Wall, and Some Still Remains." The New York Times 06 February 2014: 1-3. Web. Johnson’s article briefly summarizes his reasons as to the rise and fall of graffiti as a subculture in New York City. He gives a descriptive personal recollection of when graffiti emerged in the 1970s. He makes known his admiration and fascination of graffiti murals but also his gratitude for its end. However he places emphasis that graffiti art still remains somewhat in New York City through the collection, “City as Canvas”, which he believes currently alludes to the presence of this subculture.
