This image is an example of public art. The image shows a work of graffiti art on the side of a building in Dusseldorf, Germany. Although graffiti is often very unappreciated and looked down upon, I think that graffiti is a very good example of public art, because it is painted specifically for the general public and the artist paints it to make a specific point about some kind of issue. I think that graffiti is also a good way to explain public art because not only does it fit those qualifications, the artists who paint graffiti are under a great deal of pressure because in many countries, they are committing illegal acts to be able to present their point of view to the public through their art.
