A collection of essential quotations and other writings from artist
and icon Jean-Michel Basquiat One of the most important artists of
the late twentieth century, Jean-Michel Basquiat explored the
interplay of words and images throughout his career as a celebrated
painter with an instantly recognizable style. In his paintings,
notebooks, and interviews, he showed himself to be a powerful and
creative writer and speaker as well as image-maker. Basquiat-isms
is a collection of essential quotations from this godfather of
urban culture. In these brief, compelling, and memorable
selections, taken from his interviews as well as his visual and
written works, Basquiat writes and speaks about culture, his
artistic persona, the art world, artistic influence, race, urban
life, and many other subjects. Concise, direct, forceful, poetic,
and enigmatic, Basquiat's words, like his art, continue to
resonate. Select quotations from the book: "I cross out words so
you will see them more; the fact that they are obscured makes you
want to read them." "I think there are a lot of people that are
neglected in art, I don't know if it's because of who made the
paintings or what, but, um . . . black people are never really
portrayed realistically or I mean not even portrayed in modern
art." "Since I was 17, I thought I might be a star." "The more I
paint the more I like everything." "I think I make art for myself,
but ultimately I think I make it for the world."
