Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child

نگاهی به زندگی "ژان میشل باسکیت" هنرمند و اولین نقاش آمریکایی آفریقایی‌تبار که به شهرت بین‌المللی رسید. او ابتدا به عنوان یک هنرمند گرافیتی در نیویورک و بعد دهه 1980 به عنوان یک هنرمند سبک نئواکسپرسیونیسم مشهور شد.

Director Tamra Davis pays homage to her friend in this definitive documentary but also delves into Basquiat as an iconoclast. His dense, bebop-influenced neoexpressionist work emerged while minimalist, conceptual art was the fad; as a successful black artist, he was constantly confronted by racism and misconceptions. Much can be gleaned from insider interviews and archival footage, but it is Basquiat's own words and work that powerfully convey the mystique and allure of both the artist and the man.
