From Paleolithic cave paintings and Renaissance frescoes up to the graffiti of the 20th century, this art form has           [presented, evolved, rehearsed, enjoyed]with our civilisation.

But when people started painting on buildings and walls in the streets, the legality and artistic         [value, critic, release, review]of such graffiti and murals began to be questioned.

Public response to street art slowly began to change in the 1970th, when graffiti artists started to use it to express their disappointment with the social and               [traditional, political, classical, psychological]situation of the time.

He is so popular that his works or 'installations' are often removed and than sold.
