'Grovier’s book reframes [Banksy’s] works in a new light. Inextricably linked to Da Vinci, Monet and Van Gogh, Banksy not only makes art but reinvigorates it' - Daily Mail 'Captivating' - Publishers Weekly 'Insightful' - Kirkus Reviews 'A refreshing look at art history by showing how Banksy has plumbed its depths' - Creative Review 'Playful and provocative' - Literary Review 'This is Kelly Grovier, so pin back your shell-likes and pay attention ... Suddenly, there’s a lot more to [Banksy] than just stencils and spray cans' - Artbookreview 'By comparing Banksy’s works to those from art history, this book shines a new light on the street artist’s past projects and how much he refers to art historical masterpieces.
