Banksy – Everything (or almost) about the most famous stranger in the world by Alessandra Mattanza
He’s one of the best-known – and most enigmatic – strangers on the planet. His works appear without warning in all four corners of the world. Committed artist, he is the star of street art, the one that almost all graffiti artists try to imitate. This book reviews his work and his commitment, both political and social. Because Bansky never intervenes for nothing. There is always a message behind his works.
