    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.

DateThursday, October 17, 2013 at 11:24AM

He came to notice as a result of his sensuous--sometimes gawdy--portraits. Fauvism was a movement all about violent color--a perfect vocabulary for this ingenious artist!
