Basquiat's 'Untitled' Painting Sells For $110 Million, The Most Ever Paid For An American Artwork

[I'llBeLate4That]

Art is subjective for the most part, but talent isn't always how realistic you can depict something, it's about the feeling it's suppose to evoke.

With Basquiat's shyt it's suppose to be ugly and visceral to show the shyt that was going on in his world done in a basic straight to the point, simplistic way.

Warhol was from the school of Rockwell in his more realistic depiction of his subject. He looked at shyt like a soup can and could find an artistic aspect in it by painting it centered with no background where there was nothing else to focus on and helped carry the whole Pop Art movement. I doubt there was any real emotion behind the shyt but just the stark image of something done realistically has an aesthetic beauty to it.

Picasso had his different waves of style but his ability to create an image from a single line was

Exactly

There are also black artists out there using their art to speak on some of the same issues you highlighted and they are very talented. They are not getting millions because why?

That's why I said for me I realized art is subjective. Because white people cosign it and he rolled wid Warhol? Everybody tries to be high brow in life and when u look past the facade your like it is all B.S. at the end of the day

The French serve polenta as fine dining. In Jamaica that same polenta is fed to dogs

They're not getting millions because of the subjective nature. I'd support their art being valued much higher than it is now. That doesn't take away from Basquiat's art, or the massive, massive influence it's had on art and culture since his death.

Here's the homie Kehende Wiley subverting european Neo-Classical. Mind you that last piece is about 15 feet tall and 10 feet wide.

Breh's work is also critically acclaimed.
I'm glad someone else is acknowledging him on this site

Can y'all post good painting since basquiat sucks? Joan Miro, Matisse, Picasso and 17th century still art of baskets of fruit don't move me...you uncultured c00ns


Don't post no generic Afrocentric Christian naked black man and woman shyt either

Romare Bearden; he's considered a Black artist, but he looked like a white man who painted Black art.

Hallmark has one of his paintings hanging in their cafeteria. It's huge.

We had to do that as an art project in art school, but we had to use a single piece of wire. Hard as fukk.

Some of you like @BrokePhiBroke have no problem with Pablo Picasso even though he painted very similar stuff.


All of you denigrating a black man who's the most famous black painter of all time...

I took Art History and learned about Jackson Pollock. Son literally just splattered paint on a canvas. I mean it's cool but I used to do shyt like this in Art class in like 2nd grade.

Art is pretentious as hell

So go ahead and make a milly if t's so easy, breh.



None of you know shyt about art. it's embarrassing.

 

[Concerning VIolence]

Some dumb shyt I put together years ago. If I tried to sell this I'd get laughed at.
The things you can accomplish with a simple co-sign.

THIS is trash. GTFOH.

But I don't see ya'll slamming Picasso for making squares or Monet for making all his shyt blurry as hell.

Exactly.

Cubism European and Realism European.....so once again...the cosign of a specific group.

Ironically, what most c00ns here would consider a good painting would 9/10 times be made by a cac or inspired by European styles.



Basquiat's art is ironically ( and purposely) more close to AFRICAN art.



This is African art:

Nah my nikka you being a lil too messy for my taste.

I like what I like it's as simple as that.

Don't try to question my blackness because I don't "appreciate" the art above.

I honestly couldn't name one piece by this Pablo person you speak of. State facts not homotional shyt next time you tag me.
