Jean-Michel Basquiat Handbook
Jean-Michel Basquiat Handbook provides a concise introduction to the widely popular artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. This compact primer begins with a portrait of the young Basquiat’s family life and discusses the development of his groundbreaking style through the recurrent themes of his practice: urban life, the human figure, music and sports, to name just a few. The backend of the book provides a sampling of sketches from Basquiat’s notebooks, a chronology, and incisive, original essays from the late curator and historian Henry Geldzahler, and renowned scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr.
