In the 1980s, Richard Hambleton was the Shadowman, a specter in the night who painted hundreds of startling silhouettes on the walls of lower Manhattan and, along with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, sparked the street art movement. Shadowman plunges the viewer into the chaotic life of a forgotten artist, from early fame as a painter and denizen of the Lower East Side, to his struggles with heroin, to his surprising comeback, as street art exploded to become one of the most popular and lucrative art movements in the world. Before Banksy, there was Hambleton.
