From elegant line drawings in the 30,000-year-old Caves D’Arcy in central France to the triumphal graffiti of Russian troops who captured the Reichstag in 1945, people we have scratched, etched and painted from time immemorial. In A Brief History of Graffiti – part of BBC’s pop art season – Richard Clay explores the cave art, revolutionary posters and contemporary street-art to unravel the enigma of graffiti.
