Jean-Michael Basquiat Biography
Many people think that Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960 -1988), who was born in New York, was one of the most important artists of the 1980s and 1990s.
Basquiat tried out street art when he was a young adult. He was known as SAMO in the downtown art scene of New York City. In 1981, he was part of a groundbreaking show called "New York/New Wave" at MoMA's PS1 branch in Long Island City. During his short, high-profile career, the artist looked at issues like what it means to be black in America, the effects of colonization, and the effects of consumerism.

You said that Basquiat's art aimed to criticize consumerism in America and followed it up with an ad that sells "portions of art". Art is not an investment, this is the problem. Go ahead and commercialize art, that surely won't ruin it's integrity.
That underlining tone of jealousy from people when talking to an artist always seeps through people no matter how much they try and hide it, dude said “imitate” and that’s what’s used against artist of today for being inspired by someone.
I thought that was his angle at first too until he was commenting positively on his art later in the video. It seemed he was saying what the general public or art critics may have been saying and giving Basquiat a chance to speak on it. “Oh so you imitated it”
And he can respond to it
His opinion on using Roman symbols and overall use of source material was a definite knock at his creative ability
"Derivative" ... the word that scares artists the most (as if we aren't standing on the shoulders of those that came before us)... I find it better to lean into what inspires you, and push THAT until it's uniquely your own "style" if you want to call it that. Art reveals. #original
Exactly everyone is inspired by something or someone eventually.
!!! This !
I love how Basquiat skillfully uses his wisdom, knowledge and experience to playfully and humbly educate the interviewer who is unknowingly and annyoingly full of microaggressions, and not so micro aggressions.
Why “unknowingly” aggressive. They are always aware of what they are doing.
@@solb101 that guy interviewing him seemed so far up his own butt that he seemed entirely ignorant. I guess I don't assume always in any circumstances. After 45 years on earth, reality is spectral.

Why are you watching him ?
I like how he corrects the interviewer when they use words he doesn’t agree with.
Critics will NEVER know as much about art as an artist will.
I’ve never actually heard Basquiat speak. Interesting to watch him in interview style, he has a very calm demeanour. Very contrasting to his expressionist work. I was lucky enough to see an original in Amsterdam, I love this artist.
this is my first time hearing about this artist, he seems like he was so ahead of his time, like, incredibly ahead of his time.
he was fr probably why he was so hated by a lot of people back then, sadly he died very young
You’re so lucky, I wish I could discover basquiat all over again!!
greatest artist of that era
No. He was right on time.
Haitian/Puerto Rican
Now Jay z wearing his signature hair style
He seems so damn adorable. That boy is sweet and went through far to much in his life.He seems hyper intelligent.
He’s a man not a boy
He's not a boy
In this world of social media I try to keep up but with my mental health tanking constantly him saying " He's a slow person" gave me so much validation.. it takes me a lot of time to make my art especially my comics... I guess that's okay.. I easily forget and try to run this crazy race.
Same, we gone be good 🙏🏽
The paintings look like they were done very quickly, so I think the interviewer was shocked at how slowly paintings were built. Basquiat was so insecure he personalizes any criticism; he had a huge chip on his shoulder. Seriously he "snatched quotes"( stole them because he did not give credit to the quoter), the Bssquiat snaps back "I didn't snatch them; i take them" ( Seriously why correct snatch with take? Oh he was trying to soften and control his narrative). Whole time Basquiat was also hiding his was an addiction. Probably got turned away from the theater, because he was high. He is thee person loaded with microagressions. He was looking for a fight...the fight was the foundation of his "poor oppressed and misunderstood genius". Meanwhile he was snatching concepts of others all around him...lol creating more or less hybrids of Art Brut & Voodoo Art meet Piccaso.
@@constancedenchy9801 what in the I just watched a short video and now I have a whole dissertation on Basquiat is going on here ? Nothing is original period. Art is all pulled from something, go read steal like an artist and give a dissertation on that because the amount of assumptions here is nuts. You may even have some points but it's overshadowed by this sorts judgemental tone. You're tryna discredit him like you know him and he personally did you wrong somehow.
Every good artist is a good thief. Anyone who knows their old painting history knows people steal--from reality, from the bible, from mythology from culture etc. Art has always been beautiful theft. The best artists are those who steal, but do so from multiple sources to create their own unique image and style...they add substance through subject and experimenting with concepts and visuals, but in the end they base their work off the people around them...art is iterative.
Basquiat is my favorite artist, I'm glad you made this video
Great art is a slow and steady process.
I love when the artist said that after the interviewer asked him about the roughness of his characters the artist replied he doesn't know any people who are not rough and I concur.
i truly love to see people still talking about him today. i always get joy hearing about this genius that brought something so unique to the art world. its always great to see this kind of content.
Gone to soon, he was hella talented so creative such a visionary, but those demons wouldn't let him be.... RIP
I believe this man is a beautiful human who had a wonderful chaotic mind, RIP Jean
It's sad that he didn't get treated fairly and with acceptance and most of the people who interviewed him were very rude to him.
I would have loved to be his friend man lol he is so dope. He deserved more respect as an a artist but mainly jus as a human being sharing their essence with the world. Definitely was ahead of his time but the people who got it, got it. 💯‼️🎯 and that’s what matters.
An art critic could change your career, a collector could make your career, and an artist could do what you want.
The video on Basquiat's life and art is a captivating tribute to a visionary artist who used his work to challenge societal norms. Jean-Michel Basquiat's art is a powerful reflection of the struggles and injustices faced by marginalized communities, and it's incredible to see how his legacy has continued to impact the art world. The idea of investing in art through Masterworks is an intriguing concept, offering a unique opportunity to both support the arts and potentially earn a return on investment.
The exhibition is AMAZING .. he has done SOOO MUCH ..
traveling to California when it leaves New York ...
BIG THANK YOU to the Basquiat family
💕💕🙏🏾
They are doing a great job by keeping his name alive
I love how this brother love like he doesn’t care and say what he feels and correct the interviewer
Loving the progression. Your videos just keep getting better

Your videos genuinely help me, thank you
He was never interviewed! He was interrogated!! Omg no one lets him speak his mind .....smh ....but he always had a swag to dance around the questions with sarcasm...genius
Just shout out for how prolific this channel is!!
Just want to say what an amazing job Jeffrey Wright did in portraying Basquiat in the 1996 movie
I have never seen so much charisma in anyone...EVER !
3:06 I went to A&D with Ferg. I was 2 years ahead of him but I remember when his class hit the scene. It’s interesting to hear him talk about painting/making art. For a minute, I was like “what he know about…?” And then was like “dude, y’all was in the same art school” lol.
Nevertheless, I think we should all see how to tap into our artistic inclinations, whichever whatever that might be. Sometimes I get so fixated on what I think my art should look like or what my music should sound like. So restricted. But I’d imagine that if we have such urges to be artistic, in any way, then surely the ability to create is there. This is a good video to help in that thought process.
YES!! Thank you!
This Nigga was literally so high he became a genius.
You’re narrating the videos now! Keep it up. Great voice.
i hate how that one interviewer worded everything , that shit is obvious he didn’t wanna give the art a chance or look at it’s process but instead kept seeing the artist.
Please do Jimi Hendrix next
how the interviewers treated him is infuriating. imagine the knowledge he could’ve shared through good interviews
I don’t succumb to “art critics” either. I paint what I want, what I feel. However it comes out on canvas or wood. It will be just that.
critics don’t need to be “destroyed.” they should be worked with to help further the understanding of the artwork and how the artist is informed to continue making it, in order to help the public build a stronger connection with what they’re engaging with.
yay, lovin' the inclusion of other artforms in supplement to the music stuff
Most Excellent. 💖💖. @ Thank You God 🙏
Agree 💯👍 I do art for fun😁 doing art making me happy 😁 it feel good
Love your vids
Thank You!!
Just went to the art exhibit tonight 🖼️🖼️🖼️
i love how he messed with ppl
Quality
Basquiat destroyed the interviewer at 6:00😂😂
my favorite artist.
The evolution of this channel 🔥
❤ KING PLEASURE
This guy is a JEAN-ius
I didn’t like that random man interviewing Basquiat- he was trying his best to make the artist feel small or dumb or both.
👑
He was lightyears ahead of his time and sadly the world wasn't ready for him due to humanities own ignorance. :(
he is very the time
As in life.
Somewhere along the line, we all have to turn off the reactive part of ourselves and just do what we are going to do.
1:01 "slow person" sure, he was a deep thinker with much to consider before sharing.
It's fun reading the comments of people just coming into contact with his work and his spirit. ❤
Great video
Basquiat wanted to boycott Hollywood movies as well. That’s crazy to see actually people is complaining about that again.
A visionary is always alive even when the body is doesn’t exist anymore.
How does he know when a painting is done? When does he stop scribbling?
👑👑👑
I am slow person too
imma tell u something i have been using a blanket thats 6 years old and its made from basquiat
I hope I make it passed 27
Wait wtf I was like a minute in then realize there’s a voice over
He played all of these fools!
PT369
I'm a slow person too
Har.
Kid Cudi should play him in a movie
There is a movie ,its called : Basquiat (1996). ( not with Kid Cudi ;-) )
Kid Cudi not Haitian or Puerto Rican
That's what Basquiat was
They need a re-make, and Cudi would be spot on to portray him
All this fucking dumbing down what we grew up with
AYOOOOO IS THAT YOUR VOICE???
Voice reveal??? LOL
His art is up there with picasso what a talented artist.
I don't understand the point of this discussion. I was around at the time of his many interviews and often he was high. He sounded uneducated. He did not have the language to express himself in an academic manner. As a black man that was and is dangerous in a white racist art environment. Facts!
Not everyone was racist
interviewer: black ppl can read ?
Lol i dont really listen to anybody beside the voices in my head lmao
That's his Puerto Rican side
What nobody wants to talk about money laundering in art? This guy says millions of dollars like its some kind of affirmation. It's money.
Is that your voice?
If it is then great bro to see the transition your channel gonna do bigger things
voice reveal, lol
@@ArtSupport1 🔥🔥🔥
What Jay Z figured out he is instead of rejuvenating his own energy he can steal someone else’s # Basquiatl
Bro looked like a soundcloud rapper before it was cool
lol soundcloud rappers imitate how we grew up and attach our styles to their shit music
help people have a voice
use art as a documentary for life
collaborate with other artists
be wary of people that want you down!
The slowness and steadiness in me recognises the slowness and steadiness in you.
Did anyone notice the painting of Pluto??? He used pink and Pluto is indeed pink....this is years before New Horizons reached Pluto and took pictures. Genius genius genius.
Is this Fil?
The dramatic drum repeated over and over
Its a distraction
if a doctor reads and studies a book on anatomy is the doctor simply imitating what they read when they do medical procedures on people? i dunno about that
Even though his art is down right awful, his confidence and "I Don't Care" attitude in his own works almost gives it a different appearance giving it its own kind of charisma that makes people want to check it out
His art isn't awful. He is my favorite artist because he is insightful and he makes meaningful art. He literally inspired millions of young artists of color to pick up a paintbrush. Yes he is good at defending his art from crazy art critics.
You think it’s awful because you don’t understand of art. Have you ever tried expressing your feelings into a piece, without turning into something cliche or crap? Art is about expressing feelings, and people have all sorts of ways to express them…
His art is far better and human than any other craft artists have to show
@@antares6664 art is subjective, he can think it’s awful if he likes. I don’t agree. I love basquiats work. But art is meant to evoke opinions and emotion. Any response is in theory, valid.
I dnt care this man was high as fuck
He looks like speed !!!!
Why haven't kid played him Ina movie yet like they look like brothers
stop commercialising all eras we grew up in !

I'm not hating just expressing my opinion scribbles bad jimmy Hendrix impersonation and has same attitude ike Jaden Smith or whatever that man's name is
Are you saying he's trying to act like Hendrix or Jaden Smith? I really can't follow your comment.
@@bluecollar825 I apologize, yes it seems he is like Jaden Smith personality mixed with jimi characteristics but for all I know he's amazing what do I know
@@davidmirandajr you know as much as me friend, your opinion is valid. No need to apologize. Take care. ✌
jaden smith imitates how we grew up
now we have to read that on what we grew up with ?
That "interviewer" is biased thus he is not a great interviewer.
Boquita and botero …. Meh
Basquiat was scrutinized and this lead to him overdosing on heroin so.....idk
that's not true the more money he made the more wrong people he surrounded him self stop lying. He liked to party and was the one practically buying everything for everyone partying with different people the more money he made the more heroin he did.

that interviewer with the yellow shirt is so disrespectful and racist
So this guy almost blocked 50 Cent Super Bowl's performance? Shame on you, Basquiat
Absolutely none of this made an impact.
To me it made a total impact

@layditms2 that's you Turd compared to Billions.

Nice try troll
It made an impact to me
to everyone street from the era
He sold an image with the help of art dealers looking to make tons of money using him. I think his work was pure crap. So many much better artist than him that deserved their due.
Who?
Interesting take. It almost feels like he's trolling the art community, tbh.
i love his work and studied art and design
😁
Rammellzee was a way better artist than Basquiat.😎
I had the honor of being a security guard in a museum and guarding one of his works! 🥹 As security we were even given an overview of each painting we are guarding.
