Stencil Graffiti

by Tristan Manco

The medieval world was a distinctive one, rich in change and diversity. This book brings together these disparate worlds to show one medieval world, stretching from Connacht to Constantinople and from Tynemouth to Timbuktu. This set of reconstructions presents the reader with the future of the medieval past, offering appraisals of the evidence and modern historical writing. Articles are thematically linked in four sections, exploring identities in the medieval world; beliefs, social values and symbolic order; power and power-structures; and elites, organisations and groups. This set of views from multiple perspectives conveys the liveliness of current approaches to studies in the field.

"Many of these photographs are time capsules of city walls, a great number of which have since been knocked down or the images on them been destroyed."

Great survey of stencil graffiti from around the world. Lavishly illustrated throughout, the book mixes brief biographies of major artists with articles on the history of stencil art, and links this to wider social and art-historical conditions. This book along with 'Graffiti Brasil' by the same author have given me a deeper appreciation for street art.
