"This latest breed of distinctly urban art flourished in plain sight
of the pedestrian public, and yet it is a sophisticated system of symbols
whose inner meanings are still veiled in as much mystery as the ancient
written language of kings, hieroglyphics. Juxtaposed against Matta's
arcane imagery acts as a Rosetta Stone in this regard"
