Description
Jean-Michel Basquiat: A Prolific Career of Artistic Social Commentary Jean-Michel Basquiat was a key figure in 1980s New York, emerging from the graffiti scene under the tag "SAMO" before establishing a studio practice at just 20 years old. Despite his career lasting only a decade, Basquiat's impact on the art world remains significant, with his work continuing to resonate with issues of integration, segregation, poverty and wealth. Basquiat's artistic practice was a unique blend of abstraction and figuration, poetry and painting, drawing on diverse sources and media. His style was characterized by vivid, visceral mixtures of words, African emblems, cartoonish figures, and bold colors. This book provides an in-depth look at Basquiat's short but prolific career, his distinctive style, and his profound engagement with the issues that defined his work.
