A term used to describe the essential beauty of
contemporary wall art (graffiti) through the oxymoronic
relationship between
calligraphy (meaning decorative hand writing) and graffiti (meaning writing scribbled or scratched on something); fundamentally, graffiti is calligraphy.
Early graffiti artists such as Dondi were
influential in turning calligraffiti into a well
respected art form.
The calligraffiti on 5th Avenue
extremely beautiful.
There is a debate on whether or not to teach calligraffiti as part of the art curriculum in schools.
