This research addresses the graffiti production from 1970 to 2000, and the 'pixacao' in her birth to the present. Franco presents the graffiti of New York and São Paulo. His analysis can be broken down into three main generations of artists: The Pioneer, Old School, and New School. In each of these generations, Franco points to the works and biographies of some artists, lets you explore their careers, the particular styles of graffiti, and the neighboring regions of artistic production.
