Description
Basquiat: A powerful and provocative artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat left an indelible mark on modern art with his work that spanned just eight years. Despite his untimely death at 27, his legacy continues to resonate through his bold and often controversial oeuvre.
Borrowing from graffiti, street imagery, cartoons, mythology, and religious symbolism, Basquiat's drawings and paintings explore themes of race and identity, offering sharp social commentary that remains biting today. This compact edition celebrates Basquiat's achievements in the context of key influences on his art, re-evaluating his principal works and their meaning.
Discover what keeps Basquiat's painting relevant now, as this book provides a nuanced understanding of his artistic vision and its enduring significance.
