The chaotic brilliance of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat - Jordana Moore Saggese

Learn about the life of American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, from his start as part of graffiti duo SAMO to his rise as an internationally renowned painter.
--
Like Beat writers who composed their work by shredding and reassembling scraps of writing, artist Jean-Michel Basquiat used similar techniques to remix his materials. Pulling in splintered anatomy, reimagined historical scenes and skulls, he repurposed present day experiences and art history into an inventive visual language. Jordana Moore Saggese explores the chaotic and prolific art of Basquiat.

He saved abstract art from oblivion, and had the guts to talk back when critics targeted his work. Blended street art and high art. Stood up against tokenism and racism in the standpoint theory driven art world. A sheer inspiration for me.

i think the fact that he never learnt art at a professional level really helped to make him the artist he was. he made art based purely on his own taste and experimentation, and defined art for himself, rather than worrying about how other people defined it and conforming to that.

@madmady8278 4 года назад

I was so privileged to be able to see a-lot of his work in an exhibition early this year. It was in conjunction with Keith Harring, and while I did love Harrings work, I left the exhibition with the distinct feeling that Basquiat had far more to say beneath the surface of his canvases. I also think it was the first exhibition to ever make me cry, it took us about an hour to walk through, chronologically going through the artists lives, and by the end when you get to the last paintings he made, there was a big art piece of Basquiats crowns stacked into a mountain that Harring painted for his friend, and I started to tear up. I couldn't even read Harrings speech from the funeral because I was too sad. Then finding out that Harring died just after from Aids was heart breaking. An amazing artist, I wish the art world was open to new ideas and new pieces, new artists from different places.

Honestly Basquiat probably remains my favorite artist of all time, I’m young and seeing someone talk and represent important issues in such a crude yet honest way sealed the deal for me. Not only his works are calming to look at ( At least in my prospective since I find caos calming ) but also tell something real.
