A pioneering exploration of urban art, Murales: cultura delle strade by Gilles de Bure dives deep into the visual culture of the streets. Published at a time when muralism was still emerging as a global movement, this richly illustrated book captures the political, social, and aesthetic power of murals across cities and continents. De Bure examines how these large-scale works transform public space, giving voice to communities and challenging the boundaries between art and activism. Both a critical study and a visual journey, this early classic is essential reading for anyone interested in street art, public expression, and contemporary visual culture.
