• Director Bob Bryan is extremely successful at depicting Graffiti art as an unsung and unrecognized source of some of the most original and culturally rich artwork of the 20th Century. It likens Graffiti to the impressionists of the early 1900's. Similar to Graf work, impressionist  works were not accepted into the mainstream until long after they were created.  Viewing this film makes me see the talent that is going unnoticed in the art-world.
