Basquiat's Life Reflected in His Art
This is a great rendering of an inspiring but tragic story. Hopefully, the book will help other young people to pull the best out of themselves without falling to the temptations that tend to haunt people who have been hurt by watching a loved one in pain. The book places Basquiat's artistry in context and helps us to understand why and how he developed as an artist. It also shows the influences around him and how those influences impacted his life for the good and the bad. It is a short look into his life, but a powerful look, nevertheless.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
