I'm not really a fan of Jean Michael Basquiat. I'm black...don't see why its gotta be a black/white/c00n thang. I just don't see his appeal. I don't know shyt about art tho...I just know what I like. Banksy>>>Basquiat

I think the thing is that more people were into Basquiats story than him, his story sold his work, as for my fav artists, it goes, Banksy, Keith Haring, Mr. Brainwash, then Basquiat

Just an opinion breh, if you feel someone is wack then thats how you feel, no need to act like your opinion is fact, its art, ever heard the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

While I sort of agree with the thought that an individual's life can overshadow the impact of their craft. I cannot cosign the thought that Basquiat did not "body" the art scene in the present, and during his time.

With that said, Basquiat's art is not a "surface" appeal type of artistry. Sure, super realistic oil paintings of still life and human forms is an amazing skill. But as stated in this thread, Basquiat's art is an evolution of art, no need to downplay and compare his craft to other greats.
