Street
Art San Francisco: Mission Muralismo
Editor: Annice Jacoby
With 600 stunning photographs, this comprehensive book showcases
more than three decades of street art in San Francisco's legendary
Mission District. Beginning in the early 1970s, a provocative street-art
movement combining elements of Mexican mural painting, surrealism,
pop art, urban punk, eco-warrior, cartoon, and graffiti has flourished
in this dynamic, multicultural community. Rigo, Las Mujeres Muralistas,
Gronk, Barry McGee (Twist), R. Crumb, Spain Rodriguez, the Billboard
Liberation Front, Swoon, Sam Flores, Neckface, Shepard Fairey, Juana
Alicia, Os Gemeos, Reminesce, and Andrew Schoultz are among the
many artists who have made the streets of the Mission their public
gallery. Essays and commentaries by insiders involved with the movement
document the artistic, social, and political forces that have shaped
Mission Muralismo.
