1970's
Writing on houses and walls can be traced through the 1970’s from accounts by Jiří Bareš, a Czech musical artist. Through this period, the city was covered in etchings, commenting on policial and social issues.
In the 1970’s,
the Lennon Wall was called the “Wailing Wall”. It was here that love poems were written and dedicated to those special to the artists.
