Illuminations, which made "State of the Art" from which this sequence comes (shot in 1986), also produced "Shooting Star" in 1990, largely because we'd met Jean-Michel on the earlier production. I regret that, largely because of rights issues, "Shooting Star" isn't currently available.
I met Jean 3 or 4 times the last time after the Vrej Baghoomioan Show in April 1988...One of the most generous ,intelligent,kind, soft hearted and gentle souls that I have ever met...I purchased over 40 drawings and several paintings from him...I helped him in the day,and now that time has passed,he has helped me,just by collecting his art.I feel blessed.
Love you Jean,think of you everyday.
Wow that's Awesome that you met him, I bet you will treasure his memories forever and ever and ever and ever!
Wow
Sell me a painting
I’d love to look at those
He's so soft-spoken. Brilliant, beautiful mind and spirit which was just as sad, you can see it all in his eyes.
I agree with you 💯 percent!
I hate what the interviewer had to say. Saying that Basquiat "defaced" Warhol's art and by portraying Basquiat as someone who simply got lucky. This is completely false but never the less, I love Basquiat with all my heart. Its nice to see him in interviews (which are hard to find), alive and speaking. His voice, the quality an texture of it; it makes me love him more.
Keep your underwear on

He said they defaced each other's work. 02:10
Sugar Venom Yeah but you are defacing your underwear
and they even mentioned “the master” (referring to warhol), I was like: “Andy was his master?? LOL, wtf was that?”
Basqiuat and Andy are legends!!!

legends of the utmost pretentious nothing.
So easy to please.
R.I.P. Andy Warhol and Jean Michel Basquiat!!
Jean-Michel Basquiat would've turned 60 on December 22. R.I.P. JMB (December 22, 1960 - August 12, 1988)
Jean-Michel Basquiat was the Artist I chose to study for my GCSE art exam. Our teacher told the class to choose an Artist whose work we found interesting. But I new that wouldn't be enough to interest me. Because to me art is about the Painter and not the painting. So instead I chose an Artist who I thought was an interesting person. And as soon as I came across Basquiat I automatically knew I would be studying him. I did a self portrait in his style. Only thing I ever got an A for in my life.
I knew Basquiat as a friend.... He was a very wonderful, fresh young artist. Extremely creative.
Sad to read some of the posts here.
Do you all want to live in a lifeless, artless , Low sodium-gravy- in- a -can world???
what was he like when he wasn’t uncomfortable and on the defensive ? it seems like these interviewers were always kind of making him like that. cant find any footage of him not at least a little on edge
Don't like the way the narrator is subtly disrespecting Basquiat
i felt the same
The white man is always trying to subtly insult the black man.
WAVEDUP that’s called jealousy
but he was scribbling all over the bosses paintings
Charlie Rose did the same thing in his interview of Schnabel and Bowie about Basquiat.
thankfully basquiat surpassed to be another one of andys factory superstar
Warhol did not create Basquiat, that's a myth. He was self-made before he ever became friends with Warhol.
Such a powerful collaboration - it's difficult to conceive of any two artists being able to complement and elaborate on each other's work like this -
like you said - the shaman & the wizard!
If they did a movie kid cudi can play him
A Basquiat movie was already made in 1996.
I agree 100% & they can always make a new one
I absolutely agree!
Ghost Moist Fingerz Ghost fingerz they did a movie its great
Yeah but what if kid cudi is a bad actor
He was so young but yet so creative and so gifted, coming from nothing using his thoughts and experiences to creat amazing art
Basquiat. What a great talent! NY misses you!
I love Andy Warhol. He's a good guy. Even his work looks like it has been done by nice people.
I love how JMB says "Do you have to rub us down". LOL.
Know how it feels to be caught up in the drugs and alcohol. Clean and sober 19 years this past June. Basquiat was born in 1960 the same year I was born. Feels like I lost a brother. Would have truly been something if he were alive today.😟
🍀
All art is loved or hated because someone else told you to feel that way.
Couldn't agree more.
I tell myself both of these artists are unskilled and juvenile in their technique.
Just copy paste or doodle on stuff and it's worth a ton.
Modern art makes me sad, and I guess if it's meant to provoke an emotion, that would be it.
I guess this is what art has come to after photos came into existence.
To each their own I guess; seems like they found a good hustle.
unless you know art history, then you don't need someone to tell you how to feel.
When I'm walking through an art gallery or museum and see something random out of the corner of my eye that strikes my soul and I'm drawn to it like a magnet, it's my body telling me that and no one else. That overwhelming bodily sensation you get when you see something that just resonates so intensely for some reason you can't explain. That doesn't come from anyone else. You can know what is popular while still knowing what ~you~ like.
There's a lot more taste making going on with modern art. Thats why I love the old masters. Even if you didn't know them at all, their work had intrinsic skill, talent, and beauty. Lots of people don't consider a Rothco or Pollock painting to be any good. But nobody could look at a Diego Velasquez painting and deny its greatness.
Not all the Warhol's crowd gave Basquiat fame... let's all remember Mr. Rene Ricard, Ms. Annina Nosei & Mr. Bruno Bischofberger as well. And thanks to Julian Schnabel, that gave us a somewhat look at Basquiat life & paintings. I remain a fan. Godspeed & Peace to all.
I just bought 2 shirts featuring the crowned dinosaur i love him. Rest in peace🤴
When I see this clip it makes me realize how well done the movie was.
what a relationship...
two genius met
I still have no idea why so many people hate this man.
To be young gifted and black
@@Rainbowsun1 Really ??? He is in this list just because of his colour and that idiotic blm.
He was an insightful contemporary artist that really earned significant attention and deservedly still does today. Art and commerce is always a very sexy and dangerous combination that had in many ways resulted in his death. He will be missed. In the 90's came the turning point in NYC. With money, real estate values, and status as important as it became here , much of the character and characters of the city had vanished. Here's to the future. Hope.
ah i love basquiat.
his paintings are exciting
and my was he handsome ^^
at the time it was warhol chasing basquiat- no disrespect intended. nothing wrong in chasing basquiat - his energy everything about him ... i always thought jimi hendrix was the shortest way of describing what it felt like watching him walk , work , talk -his genius which i was lucky enough to witness a few times. 83/4
I love these two
i bet you only recently heard of them
When an artist becomes an icon, I wonder how much of what he does is genuine and how much is just to make a lotta dough. It feels like money ruins art, because the goal of the art becomes money. So, the simple fact that art sells is bad. But also, how else could an artist make money? Maybe it's just what it is: a challenge.
Catch 22
Check out Alec Monopolys work. That's exactly how i feel not just about him but about every artist who does that. I think they all sell out at one point or another.
Well, you gotta eat. But I totally understand with what you're saying. Once money is involved, I'm talking about 100's of thousands, millions...deadlines to get art, books, movies, etc to be put out makes it less genuine.

Jazzmahen Irsan that says it all
I stayed with Paul Andy's bro ,at his private farm in the section of Smock,PA..Paul,Andy's oler brother and his wife Madeline were absolutely wonderful to me.Paul gave me 2 of his paintings for 'Absolut Vodka', with his trademark 'chicken foot stamps', and a Campbell's 'Pepper Pot', painting on paper,which I am offering for sale next month.
Best to all Warhol fans and do not forger Jean Michel.still have a few of his drawings kicking around somewhere.
Cheers!
G
He's adorable
He is/was
Andy looks so pale and fragile in his final years. :( But he was still so young.
..I wish he were still around but his legacy continues. (: Whenever we see a soup can or a coca cola or even a multi colored marilyn monroe painting there can only be one genius who comes to mind.
Basquait was an "outsider" brought in to the established art world,which is a fickle, and cut throat world at the best of times. His autism was definitely a driving force,for sure. Warhol was a 'bridge' for a lot of "outsiders" but you gotta bare in mind, those who entered,had to be made aware that it was just that,a factory! Check out Duchamp and the Dadaists it might go some way to "educating" you in the many layers (no pun intended) of art mediums and practices within different cultures. Pablo Picasso with his "cubism" or check out DeKooning. This is why I love art personally,it raises questions and gives answers,but you got to dig deep sometimes.
He's amazing.I cant believe I've never heard of him :(
My idol RIP to this legend
Thank you so much for uploading this
Loved the jazz song in the beginning
They are real artists for the legacy they left behind. They mark the art history, you can find them in any famous museum around the world. The world made them famous without asking you if they deserve it or not. I like their art or not, they are still artist. Anyway, I will check your creations to see what are U up with. For the rest of us, the art is so different and wonderful. Is nice to feel it ! Colors, music, love and peace for everybody !
0.52...Basquiat painting...What a treat! Thanks for posting this.
Andy and Jean were inspirational. TWOMADCYA was blessed to have met Andy. Sorry to have missed Jean
Basquiat's work is a prime example of, you don't have to be perfect in order to be a good artist, it's the thought within each creation that makes all the difference. Basquiat's creativity showed that even the most unusual ideas & subjects can be the most interesting. And that's saying a heck of a lot.
One of the originators of Typography.
Thats what makes him GREAT.
Plus he was always high on something just like Warhol.
That was how they can always make sense of the work they produced.
Basques it and Andy = here to stay.
Hi Montreal. Andy’s back home ❤
Basquiat is so talented. I wish he had survived the art machine.
Heroin*
I Hobnob with the Hobnobbers. Classic! Warhol is my dream piece for my collection. I may do my own custom like homage to Warhol like Basquiat did, only I want it to look like a Warhol
Basquiat was a revolutionary for street art, as was Warhol to typical traditional art. I accept yor opinion, as I do of mine. Art is expression, expression to emotion, life, politics and much more, these two men carried what they believed to be art to them. Any man with will and a love for art recieves much respect.
Thank you for posting the video!
Why do people assume that art is about how detailed a painting is or how nice it looks? Art is about expression, when can gogh painted people told him his paintings sucked because it wasn't some big detailed historical piece. There is no problem with realism in paintings if that is the artists preferred medium but people shouldn't assume all great art is a big historical epic or something.
a year before i was born
So weird how they both died within two years of each other.
wow..thanks so much for posting this...amazing!!!
So peaceful to watch
thanks so much for sharing that brother.
he is one of my favorite artist
I'm not knowledgeable about art ar all - but I love Basquiat. His paintings really make me feel something. Idk what it is but I get lost looking at them. Deeply
Thank you world
This is racist, why is Basquiat automatically Andys inferior and a "streetsmart rebel". They made things together that makes them by definition EQUAL.. God this is annoying
Watch the movie "Basquiat" (1996), it's full of that kind of observation. Because he was young and black, many did not take him seriously. But then again, he grew up in a middle class family, his dad was an accountant, and he was a drug addict. Andy was a bully, but a well established artist by the time JMB came on the scene. So of course he would be considered inferior to Andy...at Andy's insistance.
That is very interesting. I will thank you!!
Radiant child gives a better insight
Lioncub Jean Michelle was Warhols superior in every sense of being.
Andy was a very shy boy, and basquiat was a rebel, his neo popart style came from the graffiti world of the New York Streets
1:21 Slippery People by The Staple Singers playing in the background.
Talking Heads
@@victoriabaker4400 The Staple Singers covered the song, which is the version playing in this video.
love that they're listening to the staples cover of "slippery people" by the talking heads. So 80s
Thanks for posting!
A tale of two geniuses
ahahahahahahahahaaa. So that makes you one along with millions of other people ... for scribbles worthy of the fridge and done by tons of doodlers all over the planet sketching scribbled faces in their sketch books; the abundance of kids that draw anime pictures are more talented than him. The Tale of Two Utterly Pretentious Ponces one of which so stupid to fittingly go from middle-class to anarchistic poverty to riches... and then drug overdose... Geniussssss!!!! This is after being launched more so via opportune luck and connections among the circle jerk clique of other medicocre conceptual contrivers. Within their narcisissim of so desperately wanting to be "the artist" they actually seem to come across like self-absorbed pieces of shit from a lot of what I read.
"I don’t listen to what art critics say. I don’t know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is"... because not everything is art. Yet he's contradicting himself because the artist is the biggest critic, doing the same thing and dictating what is or isn't art just because they churn out garbage. Agreed that one doesn't need to listen to critics... doesn't mean that one still isn't shit and the reason being is that they think whatever they do is art and shouldn't face criticism because they can't take it; more a mentality of - I don't care to listen to how subjectively shite I am compared with objectivity: whether or not one prefers Sid Vicious guitaring to Jimmy Hendrix, undoubtedly Hendrix is a better guitarist. In this aspect, Warhol and Jean were just utterly vapid.
Thank you your words are inspirational
I love this art period
Wow, a lot of haters and ignoramuses out there.
This captures the moment perfectly. The tensions between Basquiat and everyone else, including the gallery owner, Warhol and the fotogs through subtle and not so subtle gestures tells you a lot about the 80s f'ed up art world and how Basquiat was getting boxed in and pushed to sell his soul.
Anyway, even if you don't like, or are repulsed by the art, this can be appreciated as a historical reference.
He's One Artist That Stand's out from the Crowd. He's so Unique & Godly Gifted with his Mind & Hands Incredible.
Colours just Takes em & ideas are from Another Planet!
Happy Birthday Andy!!!!! Hope you are enjoying the view up there. :)
this made me happy
Touche!
Just watch the Basquiat movie in class today!
Rest in peace, your art will be inspiracion for long years
Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jhoan Roa are my favorite artists!
i hate what they were saying about basquiat i hate it soo much
yes
Jean-Michel is freaking awesome he has became one of my biggest inspirations
pure genius.
The artist can communicate whichever emotion or message he or she wants to through the colors used in a painting the various tones and hues the brush strokes the concept the composition art is a puzzle you put the right pieces together you not only get a masterpiece but you get a message that message can be have hope, have faith, spread love, smile, or it can be make war, be vengeful we don't just represent something bigger we've been touched by something bigger we're apart of that something
"Daily life is sort of documented and put out there" damn imagine if he was around today
ooh, and i love "slippery people" in the background music
this guy had natural talent
Wonderful vid!
@AristYdes the world ceases to amaze me...
love Basquiat.
definitely classic footage. thanks!
basquiat was everything
5 stars , for this video about 2 artists , real artists.
Andy's so smacked out in this clip that JMB has to hold him up. That's the definition of a supporting friend.
Exactly!
Basquiat has such a calm voice. He is the black Bob Ross, when it comes to the voice.
anyone else reminded of jimi hendrix at the start?
Yes , very much like Hendrix talking .
Martian Subculture . Yes I was thinking the same. Jean-Michel has similar demeanour and way of talking as Jimi.
Yup jimi in art form
both 27 club
Martian Subculture no
Epic!!
Andy Warhol opened doors for the Art of the century
He also opened his shitpipe for his lovers peckers
MrGaryo78 And?
And I hope they don't let you out of your cage too often.
Ariele Betterton MrGaryo78
please!
+wolfhh21 The door then slammed in his face when Warhol died...
The artist Basquiat had something to say with his life .His work is worth million's and worth every penny.
I didn't wanted to pull the "nanny" card out but well done mate!
too cool for school
both geniouses, like it or not they changed the world. i fell closer to jean michel's art, but respect both of them.
i made a short video on Basquiat, check it out!
very bloody good. There's an interview with him about his role in Phoebe Hoban's biography of JMB called A Quick Killing In Art that's really interesting.
That biography isn't very good, I wouldn't rely on it too much.
Such a tragic and shameful loss.very deep and intriguing figure
great production from linda zuck.
Talking Heads’ Slippery People playing in the background!!!! Yesss
The version they're listening to is by the Staple Singers.
Im going to visit Basquait's grave one day in NY.. have a picnic by it. I love him.
this sounds so morbid for some reason 😳
@mlrdmn
what documentary was that
