| "Every
line means something." - Jean-Michel Basquiat |
| In his short life (1960-1988), Jean-Michel
Basquiat came to personify the art scene of the 80s, with his merging
of youth culture, money, hype excess, and self-destruction. And then
there was the work, which the public image tended to overshadow :
paintings and drawings that conjured up marginal urban black culture
and black history, as well as the artist's own conflicted sense of
identity. |
