In the fifeties and early sixties the art style of the décollage or déchirage came into being. It embelished the architecture with very early forms of Streetart.

Quote

WIKI: Raymond Hains used the lacerated [ripped off, ak]  poster as an artistic intervention that sought to critique the newly emerged advertising technique of large-scale advertisements. In effect his decollage destroys the advertisement, but leaves its remnants on view for the public to contemplate. Often these artists worked collaboratively and it was their intention to present their artworks in the city of Paris anonymously. These four artists were part of a larger group in the 1960s called Nouveau Réalisme (New realism), Paris' answer to the American Pop Art movement. This was a mostly Paris-based group (which included Yves Klein, Christo and Burhan Dogancay.

Even today it is widespread; but I have a hunch that is is not anymore a handfull of artists who make these artworks but 'informal', improvising artists.

After I found some nice recent examples in the métro in Paris, I also stumbled on who seemed to be the 'artist'. Did I?
