Photographer and author Claude Crommelin has an unusual background of being a fine art gallery photographer and something of an ornithologist. Oddly enough these skills translate very well to street art photography which has a tendency to attract those who are drawn to an art form that can only often be spotted for a few days or hours and likes to be recorded in sharp focus. Every piece featured is captured in crystal clear detail, perfectly exposed and beautifully presented. Whilst this forms a high quality reproduction of the art in question sometimes you&#8217;d like to see a wider shot too to give it some context. That&#8217;s a small quibble though, this is an extensive and exhaustive a_z romp through a galaxy of artists that have worked in and on London in recent years. It&#8217;s also full of the authors anecdotes and is supplemented by occasional insights into the minds of the artists involved.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artofthestate.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/new_street_art_book.jpg\" alt=\"New Street Art by Claude Crommelin\" width=\"500\" height=\"485\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>New Street Art &#8211; Claude Crommelin<\/p>\n<p>[table id=3 \/]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book review of New Street Art by Claude Crommelin, Vivays Publishing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":613,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1347","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artofthestate.co.uk\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artofthestate.co.uk\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artofthestate.co.uk\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artofthestate.co.uk\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artofthestate.co.uk\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1347"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.artofthestate.co.uk\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1347\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19394,"href":"https:\/\/www.artofthestate.co.uk\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1347\/revisions\/19394"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artofthestate.co.uk\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artofthestate.co.uk\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
