No, he was not evil. He was a very damaged person with a slew of issues and problems that would be hard for anyone to handle, let alone a person struggling with addiction and likely depression.
This man is nothing more than a mastermind and a genius he was able to navigate through a room full of vultures he strategically knew how to place himself in time when he would strike there's a lot to learn from this young man especially how to filter your statement before you answer harder than it looks believe me still trying that 50 years old
Jah & Jahes love. Thanks for making this documentary film about Jean-Michel Basquiat. I like his artwork because it resonates with my experience as a Brooklyn-born woman of Ayiti descent. I was born in 1969 and New York City was a mess. I love how he depicts the chaos, filth, and all of the isms and schisms within a scientific framework. We can take each piece and process the parts but they're better understood as units or a larger paradigm or structure. I think that he was a very intelligent man, and I wish I had met him. I worked near his home on Great Jones during the Summer of 1988. I returned to school in August of 1988 and he died a few weeks later. I cannot believe that he was that rich when I was struggling in New York City just to get a job and to have a place to live. I wish that he had become involved with the youths of Brooklyn instead of using drugs to feel less isolated. Blessed love.#1804#Ayiti#ToutMounseMoun#AbolishCPS#AbolishPoverty#ProChoice#RawVeganforLife#HR40NOW!
33:24 this interview was a mental torture. The journalist was trying so hard to project a certain identity on him. I wouldn’t have been able to endure that. A strong artist!
So true, the guy is a jerk attempting to make some link with voodoo and assorted colonialist stereotypes of untamed black wild man. Basquiat enjoys the moment watching this idiot squirm and had he wanted to I’m sure he could have intellectually run rings around this fool.

Thank you thank you thank you for this beautiful knowledge of the young Artist gone too soon.. but a heavy impact on being unique.. living your own way. Not conforming to the 🌍..❤❤❤❤ RIP JMB 🎨
First time I watched this one! It really has rare footage and other perspectives I hadn't heard before. It was nice to see some of the stuff he was doing in highschool and the in depth origins of SAMO°.
He was light years ahead of both the art world and times in which he lived. The seismic iconography of his work is pure and sublime visual poetry. Like Keith Haring, semiotics are at the core of his cerebrally compelling work.
Right after he's called Buckwheat, that woman is sitting there saying noone saw his race and she didn't see race, and this is after calling him "exotic". He's literally from New York. These people never saw him as a human being. That's why he took drugs. He endures insults and he's not smart, he pushes back at insults and he's "volatile" and unpredictable. He's "appropriating" from books and african art, but Picasso is "inspired" by african art. So painful to watch this.
@@capoislamort100 The so called, "super-hipster liberal" crowd is the worst. Full of arrogant, egotistical bs. I'll take an honest, right winger cowboy any day. If they are honest, and say they h8te the art then that's fine by me. Bs, lies and manipulation is what drags people, and culture down.
@@HolyRollerTV Seriously. Get a grip. And if you try heroine you aren't getting off of it. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were druggies --- was it because of some deep-seated problem? No, it's because they ran in circles where there were parties, and they tried this drugs, and the drugs were physically addictive, and they couldn't stop.
since when is the word exotic racist?! how stupid. young people will do anything do be a victim. If Basquiat didn't want to be perceived as stupid then he should've drawn better and not talked like an idiot.
Great documentary. Basquiat was an awesome artist. I love his stuff, been a huge fan of it for like 20 years now. But one thing that kills me in these comments (and other comment sections I've seen about him) is how many people put him on such a pedestal that they end up talking about him like he was a helpless victim, like he was some poor, clueless, helpless, babe-in-the-woods with no agency and no issues/flaws of his own. It's patronizing and infantilizing. It takes away his agency as a real, living, breathing, complex, intelligent person. Too many people want to just see him as this innocent babe who was surrounded by wolves. This is what idolization/hero-worship does, it ends up erasing who the actual human being was. Rant over. Good documentary ;)
I don't see Basquiat as helpless - he made his own choices and dealt with his own problems in his own way, regardless of the outcome. He knew what he was doing right up until the end.
His work makes you think. For me, that is what makes great art. He died at 27 so, in my opinion, his life ended tragically. To die tragically does not denote failure. He was an addict. With or without fame he may had been an addict. Zero judgement regarding his addiction. The last images of JMB are sad as hell to view. The pain of addiction is evident in his face. JMB dying at 27 is a loss for all that cared for him and/or his art. Thank god he walked and created art on this earth for 27 years.
Food for thought, it's one thing to be an addict. It's another to be an addict and have all the money anyone could need. It's sometimes the scariest place to be, rich and addicted.
His friends weren't worthy of being enemies allowing/enabling/allowing his demise. Jealousy, ignorance, and hostility harm the house it lives in...the caller had no idea that Our locs, Our Beautiful Shining Skin, Stunning to die for Los and Bronzed birthed bodies are sought after yet expressed in outrage.
Wow, I think his home-life really messed him up a lot. His mom and dad's breakup had to have been rough with her then being put in an institution. She seemed down-to-earth and very artsy, like him. He went through so much trauma in his life, then later, the fall-out with Andy Warhol. So many variables at play in his life, including dealing with racism. The art world is a tough system to navigate. Then throw in some addictions, and wow, this creates some really heavy rough days. Georgia O'Keefe said that praise and criticism came out of the same bucket. Jean-Michel was so young too. There was still yet so much to learn about being human and a practicing artist. Jackson Pollock had real challenges also. Honestly, as an artist myself who is STILL evolving, I have HAD to give up all addictions that were affecting my art - alcohol, smoking, bad relationships, too much sugar and so on. The art is like a baby that has to stay healthy. In my experience, I finally called out to Jesus Who helps me every day. Best decision I ever made. Good video with parts I have not seen before. Thank you!
Glad you overcame all that. I believed JMB should have moved to a European country because just maybe he would be less stressed out. The people around him in Manhattan were snakes. There were a few famous black Americans who moved to European countries like the UK, Germany, Switzerland and Spain for example felt better off than here.
@@serene1275 Thanks so much for your kind words about my moving forward in life. Yes, I agree with you about JMB moving away from his area to a more calm healthy place. Stanley (can't remember his full name) a wonderful black artist moved to Europe and has done well there. I think he is back in the US now. JMB just had so much going on in his mind. Then when Andy Warhol died, it was just too much for him.
Omg, I have a limited edition eyeshadow palette from Urban Decay that was inspired by him. I never knew who the person was whose name is on the palette until now.
Basquiet is one my favorite artists on the planet! He lived his life to the fullest... He work still is on fire If you really want to know the life of Basquiet this is a much watch..
That's Al Diaz. They were friends / collaborators early on with the Samo graffiti. He's def really sour and bitter here but has since chilled out in more recent documentaries / artist talks.
I thought I was the only one who noticed. He was hella sour because he probably thought he was a better artist. However, it takes more than art. Jean obviously had the light within.
@@loveloveAtl Not only that, right place right time, mythos and legend status surrounding him, his charisma, his story, his looks, his personality, his work ethic, his speed, his approach... etc. It's why there are some amazing artists out there which nobody knows, it takes a lot more than making good art, what has got me so obsessed with Basquiat recently is everything I just listed, without that I don't think I'd even be looking at him the same way, it's strange, it kind of adds more to the art, than just having the paintings themselves on their own.
It never fails. The people who envy you while you're alive will try to ruin your legacy & defame your character when you're gone. They do the same to Pac.
21:50 this speech about Jean Michel screwing his friend’s girl and the bitterness it has contrasted with Madonna singing a few seconds later is such a fire contrast
People that write/report on/about Basquiat almost always refer to him as a " Black artist." Going by just his skin tone! His Father was from Haiti and his Mother was Puerto Rican! He was Afro-Hispanic! He spoke Spanish at home and even added Spanish words in his art pieces! These ppl miss the totality of who he was as a person! As much as he was black, he was a Latino as well. Seriously, get your facts straight! 😤😡
Its funny!!!! His speech Cadence reminds me soooooooo much of Hendrix!!!!!!! To me he representa what Hendrix represented to the cultural and emotional breakthrough often associated with the What future generations consider the greats!!!!! Its like each generation unconsciously recognizes the stagnation that prejudice brings and we recognize that expression of self is in fact expression of art!!!! So ahead of his time
what a loss he left this world much too early... it would've been good for us all to see and enjoy more of his lovely unique works... as much as it would've been good for him to do them.
in addition to the vaunted (and possibly overrated) TRIFECTA (1st view, 1st comment, 1st thumbs up), here's yet another intriguing vid for my 'watch later' file
"When someone dies young it's easy to make up a scenario of what a tragedy it is... If he had gotten fat and started making really hideous work then that would have been a tragedy" You can tell who the people are who care about the art and not the artist. The real tragedy is having people around you who don't really look out for you.
The world (art world) wasn't ready for him man...... I really feel his pain in this documentary. I hate that Black artists have to die and get "rediscovered", to get their proper accolades.... I'm gonna keep it a buck: if putting food on the table was contingent on me trying to appease white people / gatekeepers that will never see me as their equal, despite OBVIOUS success, I'd be beyond *****ed up too . This cuts deeper than I realize
WoW!!! My 89th years!!! Can you believe it, my 89th years!!! My interest in (visual) arts ended when I became a jewelry-model maker, by carving cow-horns, and ivory (while in Africa) which later became wax’s models for casting precious metals. Now, in retirement I’ve returned to my first-love, visual art. All praises to the Creat
People may treat your bizarre claims with some degree of credibility if you were to take the time to , oh I don’t know,, spell his name correctly or string a sentence together?!
@@jackjones544 i’ve had to say this before I went to a segregated school the first year before certification and then when I went to a regular school the teachers weren’t too keen on educating me I graduated 90 out of 91 students I apologize for my spelling but I worked with Adam Weinberg at the Whitney Museum in the 80s and he didn’t want to hire me but I forced my way in there as a volunteer and then I worked at the gift Shop next door And wash dishes at night at Laberta damn before they burn my locker out and made me leave. But you are correct trying to share my stories with people online is a waste of time thanks for the lesson.
No matter how many times I watch a Basquiat documentary or the ‘Radiant Child’ i still find myself trying, internally, to erase Basquiats death - I muse, did he complete his purpose here and move on - I want to post more here but he’s still not coming back - “gods” unanswered dilemma - (I’m not an atheist by NATURE), I can’t allow myself to manifest a human form to the word “GOD” - I’m a visual Artist - Basquiats eradication doesn’t fit the “math” -
As a black artist, I always find it flattering that white folks are so fascinated and due to racism and history, there is money (freedom) there but I also find it sad if we view it from a place where people have to earn, experience or deserve the right of passage. I mean this with respect, the greatest people who can narrate are those who come from a place a relativity. But seemingly this is more the American way and how to capitalize on a man beyond his death. "they will know him now". Why do people love artist after they die but not in life? I have many theories.
@@nicolasb.henry294 People still don't understand! Madonna has redefined fame, feminism, pop music, fashion and pop culture! She is the only surviving of a long gone species. With her star quality will die!
Really evil guy? Hater much? 😂 his faces are expressive and African tribal mask tiki mask entranced inspired. I think many geniuses and highly weirdly talentedly people are unfathomable and judgmentally misunderstood for those average or who can’t think deeply, empathetically and lack that open minded perspective and boldness. It’s pretty sad bc ur missing out
Al Diaz sounds real jealous and bitter here. I know they were early friends and collaborators with the Samo graffiti, but what really happened? What was the dynamic in the collaboration? Was it all Basquiat's words? Did Basquiat betray him and take full credit once he outted himself as being Samo? Glad Diaz has since chilled out and is not calling him evil lol

As a black artist, I always find it flattering that white folks are so fascinated and due to racism and history, there is money (freedom) there but I also find it sad if we view it from a place where people have to earn, experience or deserve the right of passage. I mean this with respect, the greatest people who can narrate are those who come from a place a relativity. But seemingly this is more the American way and how to capitalize on a man beyond his death. "they will know him now". Why do people love artist after they die but not in life? I have many theories.
bleeding apples it is🌸✝️
The guy @ 1:40 was such a hater. is the not the epitome of evil?
None of these jokers knew him, just collecting a paycheck for the interview
If he was a white dude from Minnesota, nobody would care... for the artist is as important as the art
Madonna has always had an excellent taste in men!
This woman is a legend.
@@nicolasb.henry294 People still don't understand! Madonna has redefined fame, feminism, pop music, fashion and pop culture! She is the only surviving of a long gone species. With her star quality will die!
Only 28 when he died???? dayum
Drugs bro. Heroine overdose...
@Sacred Him, Winehouse. There's a lot on that list. He wanted to be like Charlie Parker.
Don't wanna die too young to Young, why should you, WHEN THE SOUL WANTED LIFE DON'T KILL THE DREAM,⏰
Really evil guy? Hater much? 😂 his faces are expressive and African tribal mask tiki mask entranced inspired. I think many geniuses and highly weirdly talentedly people are unfathomable and judgmentally misunderstood for those average or who can’t think deeply, empathetically and lack that open minded perspective and boldness. It’s pretty sad bc ur missing out
3:00
Every interviewer treated him with such disrespect
DIAZ is so JEALOUS of JMB it's sickening
I knew someone else could see it

17:45 📚🆕
Genius killed by them all.
Being a addict doesn't make u a genius.
Its sad. Bas. Died.
J.M.B Still.Has Us Confused-!..He is J.M.B..Samo.
💯 32:40
He was a fragile person! Not meant for that time
Absolutely, hence why all the drugs……he felt trapped and couldn’t function!
But his art was contemporary relevant no? Then he must have been meant for that particular time 🙂
Al Diaz sounds real jealous and bitter here. I know they were early friends and collaborators with the Samo graffiti, but what really happened? What was the dynamic in the collaboration? Was it all Basquiat's words? Did Basquiat betray him and take full credit once he outted himself as being Samo? Glad Diaz has since chilled out and is not calling him evil lol
I’m tired of new artist biting this man’s shit do your own be original !
JMB copied picaso he said so himself. I mean look at the work. Everyone draws inspiration from somewhere.
People are talentless lol envy
,that's a sin..
I create my own ...
Like this person or that no it's basquiat
