Resumen / Summary:
Jean-Michel Basquiat está considerado una de las figuras más reconocidas del arte contemporáneo del siglo pasado. Nació en el barrio neoyorquino de Brooklyn, su madre fue clave para estimular su talento. Con su amigo Al Díaz, pintaba grafitis en paredes y edificios de la parte sur de Manhattan como expresión de protesta. Sus obras denunciaban el racismo y la desigualdad y adquirieron un enorme valor. Basquiat se ha convertido en un icono cultural.
Meet Jean-Michel Basquiat, the graffiti street art movement pioneer.
Jean-Michel was born in Brooklyn, New York, to a Puerto Rican mother and Haitian father. When he was eight and recovering from an accident in bed, his mother gave him a copy of Gray's Anatomy, which sparked his interest in the human form. As a teenager, he gained recognition as part of the graffito duo SAMO that spray-painted cryptic messages and images around the landscape of Manhattan's Lower East Side. He eventually made his way to the New York gallery scene and on to international acclaim. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the brilliant artist's life.
