World of Banksy

This vibrant 3-volume set delves into Banksy’s iconic works through his powerful symbols—rats, monkeys, and children. Renowned Banksy scholar Alessandra Mattanza examines the artist’s inventive use of symbolism to critique war, societal norms, and political systems. The volumes feature images of works like Let Them Eat Crack, Laugh Now, Girl with Balloon, and The Flower Thrower, showcasing Banksy’s urban resistance art. Mattanza’s essays explore the wit, perception, and enduring messages behind his ephemeral creations. Mattanza is also the author of Banksy, Women Street Artists, and Street Art’s Rising Stars.
