This week is a homage to Jean-Michel Basquiat, the first afro-american artist being successful in white dominated art world. He began his carreer with Al Diaz on the Streets of New York as Graffiti-Sprayer, before his recognition in the art world his work was critized for being to urban and having to much graffiti -influence. He always believed he was going to be a Star , never wanted to be known as gallery mascot for being of afroamerican origin. Romantisizing the idea of becoming as famous as Jimi Hendrix and Charlie Parker. portrait Due to his early death caused by drug overdosis we don’t have many works to observe. His art expresses racial abuse , social problems, ethnic and cultural heritage.
