- Figure 1.1 Is the graffiti in this photo a form of art and self-expression, or is it social deviance? In the beginning, graffiti was a form of expression that was not supported by mainstream culture; that is, defacing public property was not an acceptable art form, and anyone caught doing so was depicted as a deviant. It presently appears that many in society are now accepting graffiti as a form of art.
