What is art? How do you define that term? How do dictionary definitions and societal definitions match up
with your criteria for what makes a piece “art” or the creator an “artist?” Bansky, along with other prominent
figures in today’s art world, is the subject of this essay, is an elusive figure, graffiti artist, and political activist.
He has worked with graffiti since the 1990s, claiming to subvert his government’s label that his work is
vandalism. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his film, Exit Through the Gift Shop. This film
explores the graffiti art movement spearheaded by Banksy and the repercussions of that movement,
manifested through the work of Mr. Brainwash, Thierry Guetta, who became an artist after documenting the
work of other graffiti artists. Is Banksy’s work is truly art? What about Mr. Brainwash (Thierry Guetta)? Is he
an artist? How do we know?
