Born in Brooklyn in 1960, Jean-Michel Basquiat died at the age of 27 after a dazzling career. Immediately recognized on the international scene thanks to exhibitions devoted to him from 1981, he met Andy Warhol, with whom he multiplied his collaborations.In order to open up new perspectives on the artist's work, this book attempts to decipher his links with the precursors of modernism and analyzes the impact of his multicultural origins, of music and hip-hop culture on his compositions. It thus highlights the great plastic intelligence, the inexhaustible inventiveness and the discreet self-mockery of a modern genius.
