The Notebooks - Basquiat, Jean-Michel
A facsimile edition of the artist's fascinating working notebooksBrooklyn-born Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-88) was one of the most important artists of the 1980s. From 1980 to 1987, he filled numerous working notebooks with drawings and handwritten texts. A key figure in the New York art scene, he inventively explored the interplay between words and images throughout his career, first as a member of SAMO, a graffiti group active on the Lower East Side in the late 1970s, and then as a painter acclaimed for his unmistakable Neoexpressionist style.
Iconic drawings and pictograms of crowns, teepees, and hatch-marked hearts share space with This facsimile edition reproduces the pages of eight of these fascinating and rarely seen notebooks for the first time.The notebooks are filled with images and words that recur in Basquiat's paintings and other works.
