	Jean-Michel Basquiat, by Louis Armand
		Basquiat himself publicised details of his early life in a piece called Untitled (Biography), 1983, and he was also known to be reluctant to involve himself in fl politics, often finding himself estranged from “up town“ fl artist communities.
		Basquiat’s work itself exhibits few characteristics of graffiti, and the resemblance is largely based upon the fact that he employed textual elements in his work.
		Basquiat’s work is constantly aware of this double-bind linking the fl artist to a form of racist commodity fetishism, and there is something veritably portentous about TAR TOWN© which finds an echo elsewhere in paintings like St. Joe Louis Surrounded by Snakes (1982) and Untitled (Defacement) (1983).

		Basquiat is surely a character in conflict with himself, but that conflict appears distant, as if it were encased in glass.

	Review: Basquiat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Basquiat, the fictionalized biography of graffiti artist-turned-international sensation, Jean Michael Basquiat, is the latest in a long line of "suffering artist" motion pictures, following closely on the heels of last year's controversial Total Eclipse.
		Basquiat, seduced by his own fame, turns his back on the companions of his obscurity to bask in the adulation of Andy Warhol (David Bowie), and arts dealers Bruno Bischofberger (Dennis Hopper) and Mary Boone (Parker Posey).
		Wright's Basquiat is animated, passionate, and deserving of a better script than he was granted (the Tony award-winning actor is on record as having disagreed with Schnabel's interpretation of how the role should be played).

	A reply to Robert Hughes
		The "obnoxious liberals" (a phrase from a Basquiat painting) who first noticed Jean's art were in a sense like parents who try to understand their children but who patronize and alienate them as they do so.
		Basquiat, who was closer to Snoop Doggy Dogg than Bach, was from a street tradition that is arrogant and confidant enough that it doesn't need to respond directly to any cultural tradition or set of rules.
		Basquiat worked in resonant fragments, and anyone who tries to fit the pieces together in a neat design will be disappointed and frustrated in the end.

		While the trend-hungry art world cashed in on Graffiti artists such as Keith Haring and Fab 5 Freddy, Basquiat grew his legend by remaining an enigma to dealers and other artists, to whom he was known only by the moniker SAMO.

		BASQUIAT chronicles the meteoric rise to fame of the gifted and charismatic young New York artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat, as he emerged from the streets of the East Village to become an internationally renowned sensation.
		A charismatic, young heroin addict, Basquiat started out as a graffiti artist who called himself SAMO (as in samo bulls--t) and, depending on where your aesthetic tastes fall, his success represented either a great rebirth of artistic orgininality OR yet another sign that the American art scene was becoming a victim of trendiness.
		The story is occasionally rather muddled (Basquiat's rise from homeless drug addict to prodigal Warhol son seems to come out of nowhere) and plotwise, Schnabel is rather conventional in his structure -- Basquiat reaches the heights of fame and forgets all of his former friends before being redeemed at the end.

		Jean-Michel Basquiat was described by The New York Times as "the art world's closest equivalent to James Dean." In spite of his success, this turbulent and talented young painter was also plagued by loneliness, self-destruction and the belief that people did not really accept him for who he was.
