Dawson, Barry — Street Graphics India

Thames & Hudson, 2001 Paperback. 112 pages. Text in English. Clean copy with minimal signs of use. The streets of India are a gallery of images vibrantly portraying the country's rich cultural diversity. Street furniture, architecture, transport, billboards, posters, packaging, animals and people are all used as the media of calculated design and spontaneous expression. Ancient or modern, permanent or transient, India's street art has evolved in a myriad of styles reflecting regional variation and concerns. This collection of photographs is a colourful journey through India's cities, towns and villages, a graphic celebration of its creative street culture, a sourcebook of ideas for students and practitioners of art and design, and a visual record for visitors.
