GRAFFITI VERITE’ (READ THE WRITING ON THE WALL) color. 45 min. Bryan World Prods. Interviews with two dozen Los Angeles graffiti artists cast little doubt on their view of graffiti as tagging or art. With the spray can as their medium, the city as canvas, and monikers like,- Toonz, these black, brown, and white Angelinos speak the language of art. They talk about technique ("can control"), stylistic influences (Keith Haring, hip-hop culture), communal aspects of their work ("crews"), and the community of those who view their art as illegal, urban blight. - Susan E. Annett, Santa Monica P.L., Cal.
