Banksy en de Meesters

Product description

With his unmistakable style, street artist Banksy always manages to capture attention—not for himself, as he prefers to remain anonymous, but for the powerful statements his work conveys. Whether it’s shredded at an art auction or appearing unexpectedly in public spaces, each piece has something profound to say. Kelly Grovier delves into the seemingly simple yet layered art of Banksy. For his provocative murals, improvised urban sculptures, and deconstructed paintings, Banksy draws upon the legacy of art history—but always in his own inimitable way. Blindly quoting or referencing is not his approach. Have these iconic artworks lost their meaning after years of reproduction upon reproduction? Banksy reinvigorates them, breathing new life into their message.
