About Jean-Michel Basquiat
1960-1988
Jean Michel Basquiat was an American artist who gained international attention in the 1980s with his expressive, often raw paintings. Born in 1960 in Brooklyn, New York, he began as a graffiti artist under the pseudonym "SAMO". He quickly became a central figure in the New York art scene.
His works combine text elements, symbols, and strong colours with socially critical themes such as racism, power structures, and identity. Despite his early death in 1988 at the age of just 27, Basquiat left behind a significant artistic legacy and is now considered an icon of modern art.
In the early 1950s, a movement took over the cultural scene. Young artists from the U.S. and the UK independently broke with all traditions of artistic creativity, giving rise to a new art movement in modern art.
In the U.S., Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann, and James Rosenquist who were seeking their themes in the world of advertising and comics, in star cult and anonymous urban culture. With bright colours, over dimensioning and manipulating depth perspective, they created new provocative works. Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi became pioneers of Pop Art in England through the famous "This is Tomorrow" at London's Whitechapel Art Gallery. In the 1960s, they were followed by David Hockney, Allan Jones, Peter Phillips and Derek Boshier.
