LUCIE KAAS – TRÉSTYTTA KOKESHI JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT

In his short 27 years, Jean-Michel Basquiat was one of the most influential artists of his time. Juxtaposing historical commentary, images, and text – his works had not only a visual, but poetic feel. Basquiat emerged from the 1980s neo-expressionist movement. Decades on, the themes explored through his artistry – inequality, racism and injustice – still find relevance today.
