“I didn’t snatch them.” They just sort of caught my eye... and I took them.” The brilliance of his ‘art’ in all forms was/is contagious. His play on words was incomparable, he was a beautiful asset to this world. May his life and artistry live on forevermore.
“Im a slow person” very intelligent and honest
I used to hang out there and go to shows when I was 13, 14, 15 years old because I grew up in Stuyvesant Town and was a graffiti and hip hop junkie. I still have my black book from those days with Futura, Tracy 168, Dondi, T-kid and many other writers in it. I still go to graffiti events to this day. I had such a crush on Patti.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She’s not cute at all bro but kudos to you I guess.
i really admire basquiat and how he carry's himself
I saw all of the Fun Gallery shows--many times--because I lived on the block. Basquiat's show was particularly memorable, because it brought Graffiti Artists from all over the city to East 10th Street for the show, and of course, after the show they all 'tagged' the block. It was great the next morning to see all the fresh graffiti up & down the entire block!
They devalued this genius, and sold his art at top price. They used him all the way up!
Basquait 👑 art shall live forever!
If he was white they wouldn’t have called him a graffiti artist- he would have been given the uncommon appellation of “ genius “. Rip JM.
Man, your victimhood is hilarious. They called him genius and everyone in the art scene called him genius. And he was a graffiti artist too and of course they named that too, that is not a way to undermine his genius. He called himself a graffiti artist too. Actually with your assumptions it is you who is undermining graffiti art and graffiti artists
@@screambeyond you- sir are a fool. Learn to read your history. When educated- then comment. I am quoting- JMB. As well as his roommate: who was my dear buddy Vincent Zangrillo. Try to figure out the initials - then perhaps learn about being an adult, educated- and humble.
@@screambeyond yeah jm famously called a genius by everyone including press and the art world where racism definitely did not exist in the 80’s
Does anyone knows what religion was Basquiat? I see paintings of his that has Prodigal son story from Bible but I also see vodou stuff and wikipedia says that he was raised catholic... so which one was it, its confusing... or he probably transitioned by leaving 1 and choosing other. I wanna see Basquiat in Heaven and JESUS is the only way to Heaven, Basquiat had to know that because he read Bible looks like and also GOD informs everyone in this but not forces.

RIP Patti
Love the backgrounds song in patti interview Demis Roussos
Sugar Ray Robinson killed me😅
Much admiration 💛
You're a lucky man to have been there at that moment in time !
i lived on 10th&1st at the time - negril & roxy....ron hardy playing records at fun gallery during the day
That was a fun scene. I loved Futura 2000's pieces from that time. To bad that Jean Michel didn't make it. I wonder how the rest of them are.
Yes Fab 5..."You can't do graffiti on a canvas!" WB LES...
"I'm a slow person" Jean
| all interviews of basquiat are tragedies - stupid ass belittling questions and readings of his work - i just ... am so frustrated | unfortunately basquiat is being sincere with them and i see the frustration with them , where as bob dylan and john lennon recognized and made fun of the interviewers to their faces because of how their questions were - such as asking Why they did something rather than what is it doing
Child like artist 🧐100 million dollar artist!

He had to call his work a slow process because whorof fell in love with him because of his speed as an artist.
What year is this exactly? Thanks.
Looks like 1982, when he had the show at Fun.
I used to sell crack cocaine out of the gallery to the artists, sometimes they would give me art for free, now I have 10 Basquait paintings at my home I made a good deal
Stop lying
Being on his frequency is slower but pure genius he is a light n pure fire hatain rican 🎉🎉🎉❤
I'm a slow procer
I Am Sure There Is Great Admiration For This, I Don't Get It! Maybe I Am Slow!😮
Horrible interview and narrator.
he just didn’t understand the art and the art style is very unlike that time period so many people didn’t understand or appreciate Basquiat’s art
This gon sound harsh but that artwork is absolutely terrible and my 8 yr old created more complexity 😆 🤣
then sell your 8 yr olds art then. hmmm
