Dropsy: Through four decades and beyond is a journey into the world of style writing through four decades, starting from the 1980s to the present day. Dropsy's work thus joins a rich bibliography chronicling the golden years of the Milanese style writing scene, surely among the richest in our country.
Obviously, this volume is more of a monograph since it goes over Dropsy's career in particular, but we can consider this artist a piece of history in the graffiti scene and therefore what he left behind in his path is everyone's heritage.
Dropsy called this endeavor “titanic,” placing particular emphasis on the difficulty in finding the material, especially taking into account the fact that most of it belongs to a period when digital did not exist and this contributed in no small part to lengthening the production time.
