Jean-Michel Basquiat: painting history

Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the best known artists of the 1980s, but his sensational fame and the record-making auction prices of his work distract from the cultural and historical value of his art. This talk explores Basquiat as a history painter, an artist who documents our shared histories. We will look at Basquiat’s art and how it records and interprets Black history in the US in all of its complexities from jazz to film, colonization to police brutality.
