When I saw pollock work in person, I stared at the shyt, and stared at it and just shook my head. It's all mental illness. I think there was a cigarette bud in one of the splatters.you know what breh, you’re right.
no lie, I know a chick who has a nephew who has autism. He is like 18 now and watches a lot of Disney kid stuff and not super high functioning but he can get shyt done for his age
couple of years ago he made her a drawing and she has it printed on a 8 x 10 canvas and put it on her wall.
I fukkin SWEAR that she just got a Basquiat reprint because the kid’s drawing looked just like one and there’s 0% chance he knows about Basquiat. He just draws like a fukking child.
there was a time like 7-10 years ago when dikkriding Basquiat was damn near a prerequisite here in NY. Brooklyn Museum had a massive Basquiat exhibit and the venue was flooded with people even on the last day. I even Jedi mindtricked myself into dipping one row onto the wave
But the reality is the art is ehhhh at best to me
mans was a product of 80s hypebeast post modern art and i feel the same about Warhol and Haring. Hell, the pinnacle of this hypebeast art shyt is Jackson Pollock. It’s literally a dude splattering paint and CACs are
I just don’t rock with it and a Tesla battery engineer would grab my interest before these dudes

Basquiat was definitely overrated. Jay Z only got into him because he heard somebody he respected say his name. Not because he’s actually into art.

Ernie Barnes:
Pollack art gotta be the biggest finesse in the existence of art. And it just shows that all you need is rich CACs to hype up a group of artists just to make it seem like some “you ain’t up on this” shyt
that is literally the history of MOMA. bored, rich CAC females threw resources behind some random artists and told the world that this is where modern art was headed. It gave them something to and out out their husband’s airspace.
Pollack had to know he was hitting a lick with these trash canvases. I’ve seen better shyt at the bottom of the Home Depot paint mixing station.
because its not about art its about money laundering

You only consider the works of Arab-influenced Africans, art?

Agreed. You seen the Campbell soup can in Moma? Complete trash

NOPE
The irony here is most people thought his art was trash when he started.
I personally think his thoughts, expressions and emotions are dope.
Everything ain't for everybody.

You giving Arabs credit for great African achievements
the illustration is what it is...but if you look at a lot of his pieces together, and read the little captions on them there is a continuity there. like one long editorial news reel. its almost like he expected his stuff to be put in a time capsule. i didnt look at any of it until i saw the one in the tiffany ad, but i enjoyed it
maybe to casuals but he didn't put Basquiat on in the art scene

Mansa Musa ain’t never hand out gold to any black nations.
