Street art (in English: Street art) is a movement in contemporary fine art, the distinctive feature of which is its urban character. It would be fair to point out that street art has been around since the advent of Homo sapiens. Initially, creativity manifested itself in the form of rock paintings. Later, already in a civilized society (in Ancient Rome, Greece, Egypt, etc.), people began to express their thoughts by writing inscriptions on the walls. These are advertising messages, declarations of love, expression of political thoughts, etc.
Street art as we are used to seeing it today is supposed to have emerged during World War II. The first case is considered to be the appearance of the viral inscription “Kilroy was here”. It was carried out by a certain Kilroy, who (allegedly) worked in a bomb factory in Detroit (USA). The inscription initially appeared on all bomb boxes produced in this plant.The phrase was then supplemented with a drawing and further spread by American soldiers.
Street art flourished in Philadelphia in the 1960s. This place is still considered a historical center of graffiti culture. In the 1970s, the localization moved to New York. It all started in a Manhattan neighborhood called Washington Heights. At this moment, “tagging” was invented. At the same time, a tradition appeared to put the street number next to the nickname. The first to do this was Julio 204. Among the graffiti artists of that time, a competition broke out to recognize the best.
