There are more than 177 miles of man-made tunnels and unused quarries under the streets of Paris, and for over 300 years people have made paintings, drawings, graffiti, signs, and sculpture on these underground walls. This book documents the art of the Paris underground, with color plates that display work ranging from an elegantly incised date (1777) made by the general inspector of quarries, to a portrait of a Prussian soldier stationed in Paris during the siege of 1870, to directional signs left in 1940-44 by occupying German forces, to gargoyles, nudes, portraits, cartoons, and mosaics made by Kata artists, who began illustrating quarries in the 1980s.
