Arist Andrea Mastrovito created this huge installation out of cutouts from repurposed text books. The giant piece was inspired by H.G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau, and is aptly titled after the novel.
Literary Graffiti is Wonderful
Literary graffiti, enough said. Street artists like Banksy and Kobra are driven by political statements and much like them, these graffiti pieces are powerful and eye opening. Not to mention, great quotes that simply summarize their respective novels.
Sidenote: I wish I had seen this in high school-I would’ve consulted these instead of Spark Notes! At least now I can appreciate these pieces, after reading and understanding the brilliance of Orwell and Vonnegut.
My particular favorites are “Alice in Wonderland”, “1984”, and “The Crying Lot of 49”. These are great examples of statements without words and I love anything visual like these.
