Brooklyn-born Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-88) was one of the most
important artists of the 1980s. A key figure in the New York art
scene, he inventively explored the interplay between words and
images throughout his career, first as a member of SAMO, a graffiti
group active on the Lower East Side in the late 1970s, and then as
a painter acclaimed for his unmistakable Neoexpressionist style.
From 1980 to 1987, he filled numerous working notebooks with
drawings and handwritten texts. This facsimile edition reproduces
the pages of eight of these fascinating and rarely seen notebooks
for the first time. The notebooks are filled with images and words
that recur in Basquiat's paintings and other works. Iconic drawings
and pictograms of crowns, teepees, and hatch-marked hearts share
space with handwritten texts, including notes, observations, and
poems that often touch on culture, race, class, and life in New
York. Like his other work, the notebooks vividly demonstrate
Basquiat's deep interests in comic, street, and pop art, hip-hop,
politics, and the ephemera of urban life. They also provide an
intimate look at the working process of one of the most creative
forces in contemporary American art.
