520 $a This investigation addresses the question: Is subway graffiti different from the common graffiti that has been around for centuries virtually unchanged, and if so, in what way is it different and what is the significance of the difference?
520 $a The problem has been investigated through selected samples of graffiti done prior to 1970 from the late sixties to Paleolithic times. There is no evidence of stylistic distinction to be found in any graffiti done before 1970.
520 $a In 1969 graffiti began to increase in New York City. One name, TAKI 183, seemed omnipresent. The New York Times ran a profile on TAKI on July 21, 1971. Thenceforth, each week more youths joined in the fun and soon focused on the subway system as the ideal arena for graffiti. First, the insides of the subway cars became covered with their "tags," and by the end of 1971 they had begun to write on the outsides of the cars in ever increasing scale.
520 $a This investigation is based on primary information from photographs, direct observation, and taped interviews with graffitiists and Transit Authority personnel. Emphasis is on the aesthetic development of the design of the letters and the increasing scale of these designs in relation to the sides of the subway cars. The physical and technical problems were examined and described.
520 $a This graffiti movement has been divided into periods: The early "masterpieces" were done when these youths learned how to enter the lay ups and the yards where they could work undisturbed. The "high period" was from 1972 to 1974 when the aesthetic foundation of subway graffiti was formed. 1974 to 1976 was a period of synthesis and graffiti declined in aesthetic quality from late 1975 to late 1976. During this period the cars were not cleaned and "crossing out" pieces became common. This decadence was followed by an outpouring of creative energy during the late period. By the end of 1978 this graffiti movement began to die from lack of original ideas.
520 $a It was concluded that subway graffiti is a phenomenon distinct from traditional graffiti and should be classified the art of the asocial.
