Street art is always criticized and somehow underrated, but I think that some of the best works of art come from street artists. Talking about photography, we could say that street photographers were more aesthetically concerned than the pure straight photographers even if they didn't use any effects or edition as well. However, I don't think there's much more difference between any of the photographers I've been discussing in Postwar Realism... Straight photographers also worked on the street and portrayed social and historical conditions and events involving people from all social classes, and even if they were more prepared and famous than the street artist, that doesn't mean their art is more valuable (the prices can differ from this idea, though).
