Date: April 22nd, 2021 3:09 PM Author: contagious tanning salon explain. i watched two documentaries recently, but they were more about the party scene surrounding him than the art. i don't disagree he may have been overrated however. in pretty much the exact same way warhol himself was a bit overrated. i also have no clue what i'm talking about and couldn't name a single one of either of their paintings. i'm also retarded and gay (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4817303&forum_id=2#42330943) |

Date: April 22nd, 2021 3:19 PM Author: stimulating wagecucks I'm not an art expert, but nothing about Basquiat's work makes me pause and think. There's no interesting juxtaposition, no weird play between colors, no abstract strokes that seem open to interpretation.
Maybe he was just in the right place at the right time and got to introduce the "legitimate" art world to street art and graffiti. Most of it seems like juvenile doodles with little consistency or theme.
I know "my toddler could draw that!" is the criticism of the old fart collecting Kinkades, but come on: https://christies.shorthandstories.com/Jean-Michel-Basquiat-untitled/assets/WkgYLYUp86/shorthand_batch-basquiat-2560x3931.jpeg
Doesn't seem like top tier blue chip art.

wonder if it filtered down from his art to the mainstream, or if he was tapping the same zeitgeist from which that palette filtered into the mainstream. |

Date: April 22nd, 2021 3:28 PM Author: Walnut sinister pit skinny woman uh, i'm trying to say that i don't know when he drew that, but it seems to hit on a color palette that became popular after his death. that may have something to do with his success and increasing reputation in the 90s.

Black. Gay-willing. Desperate. Graffiti. NYC. 80s.
Any hyper-exclusive all-white domain, like for example fine art, is primo territory for tokenism unlike anything you can dream of. And tokens dont have to be talentless, but they do have to be black.
Basquiat being black (and the french kind of black) and doing a "black" street art... he was really the perfect guy for the moment.
More credit to him. |
