Certainly "art" takes many forms and many opinions are formed upon viewing the results! The color is delightful in this one. Many graffiti artists have been tasked with decorating plain concrete walls and bridges around the Washing, DC area. For a different take on "painted" bridges, go to my old posts http://lewspics.blogspot.com/2008/03/bridges-between-carroll-street-bridge.html and http://lewspics.blogspot.com/2008/02/day-46-old-fountain.html. Thanks for visiting my double sunrise.
I would agree that sometimes talented artists find their start with graffiti and/or street art. I went to a wonderful street art fair in Denver last year. http://www.lafcustomdesigns.com/2012/06/denver-chalk-art-festival.html I like your capture under the bridge, Nonnie.

Sometimes graffiti is very artistic and amazing.

More and more becoming an art form ~ it is in some ways an 'ancient art form' ~ Your photo seems to have very pretty graffiti ~ Great post for ABC ^_^

To be politically correct let's call it unauthorized art.

There are some pretty amazing art works that are seen as graffiti.
ReplyDeleteGood post.
I like graffiti and definitely consider some of it to be art. I like the one you captured.
ReplyDeleteNot all graffiti is art, but this appears to be.

There is some graffiti that is definitely artwork--and I think what is in your photo qualifies!
ReplyDeleteI always call it Street Art, or in this case bridge Art :-)
ReplyDeleteI like graffiti art too. Tagging gives it a bad rap, unfortunately.

ReplyDeleteI consider graffiti to definitely be art...depending on what is painted there
ReplyDeleteI always admire people who can express arts through graffiti.
