Seven-Up / Maurice 1977

"Seven-Up / Maurice" is a 1977 photograph by Henry Chalfant, documenting graffiti art on a New York City subway car. The photo is comprised of two panels, each capturing a different section of the train. The top panel features the "Seven-Up" tag in blue and red, while the bottom panel shows the "Maurice" tag in blue, yellow, and pink. Chalfant's photography captures the vibrant and ever-changing nature of graffiti art in the city, and this piece serves as a historical record of this art form. Chalfant's work helped elevate graffiti from mere vandalism to a legitimate form of artistic expression.
