Though it can be beautiful at times, it is mainly a provocative, against-the-rules form of art. But I think that's its main purpose of being. Ugliness can be more thought-provoking than beauty, more unsettling and puzzling. So to your question 'Which is more important, the art or the transgression?' I would answer 'both' as far as street art is concerned. Art in all its forms needs to be transgressive to survive. Never mind the ugliness, it can coexist with beauty. Where else would the people express their genuine feelings if not on the street?ersimarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898441311620432865noreply@blogger.com
