Lee Jaffe, a cross-disciplinary visual artist, musician, and poet,
took photos of his friend, Jean-Michel Basquiat, when they
travelled abroad in 1983. As a photographer, Jaffe had a connection
to Basquiat, and their time spent together resulted in an archive
of imagery that captured one of the art world s true legends
through an unfiltered and authentic lens. Basquiat and Jaffe
connected over reggae music at a mutual friend s art show. It was
the early 1980s in New York, when the art scene was raw,
complicated, and thriving, and Jaffe cultivated strong connections
with cultural figures such as Basquiat, Bob Marley, and Peter Tosh.
For me, watching him [ Jean] paint reminded me of the times I would
sit and play harmonica while Bob Marley, with his acoustic guitar,
would be writing songs that were eventually to become classics,
Jaffe says. With Jean and Bob, it seemed like they were channelling
inspiration coming from an otherworldly place. This beautiful
volume presents snapshots of Basquiat: from the artist smiling on a
bullet train to Kyoto and behind-the-scenes documentation of
Basquiat creating artwork in St. Moritz, to poignant portraits that
mirror his undeniable magnetism. These rare depictions of Basquiat
come to life with Jaffe s unforgettable experiences of their
friendship, collaborations, and travels detailed in private written
memories and anecdotes. This insightful and moving illustrated
volume captures the soul of the unedited, ambitious, young artist
during the height of his short yet unprecedented artistic career.
