“Art doesn't need to be in galleries to be appreciated. Banksy has some of the most intelligent input on current affairs.”

“This is a GREAT coffee table book. Lots of great photos of his works presented well with great comments and anecdotes scattered throughout. Covers his work on public places (such as bridges, statues, landmarks) to his bold methods of putting his art up in plain view in public and in some pretty well known art museums. His art has great, thought provoking messages so it's so hard to not like this type of expression. It can run from hilarious to almost scary. I am going to take away a star because I find that while I like his art and his audacity to place it on an uncommon canvas and keeps it relevant to the everyday public, I find his messages tend to jump on the band wagon. He protests the war, corruption of the justice system, the greed and ambivalence of big business, etc. Not new territory to tread. While it brings these issues back into the minds of the reader or viewer, the messages aren't anything nouveau. ”
