Be Inspired by Basquiat
Be Inspired by Basquiat
Basquiat was deeply moved by jazz, blues, and hip hop, rap, and experimental forms of music and often listened to this music to inspire his art
he often used a crown to signify his importance in the art world. He was visually establishing and connecting himself as part of an art royalty.
he used words and images in his work that were based on the things he read in books, heard on TV or radio or remembered from history
