Whether we appreciate this work or not, we can all learn something from it!

If you dont really know his story its difficult to really appreciate the work. Its very child like and yet deeply intense. Dredged up out of his drug addiction im sure or, at least, from an addictive personality. Many disregard him and credit his work only to his friendships and relationships to artists like Warhol. The notebook pages look like you could stand and read them all day.<br /><br />Thanks again for the art tour...<br /><br />SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393173708204948178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-64493236275130631222015-06-17T11:31:43.207-04:002015-06-17T11:31:43.207-04:00It must be a wondrous thing to see Basquiat's ...It must be a wondrous thing to see Basquiat's notebooks...Sharmon Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857659019638341374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-70055961709663689722015-06-17T11:30:47.037-04:002015-06-17T11:30:47.037-04:00In this age of people screaming for SIMPLICITY, Ba...In this age of people screaming for SIMPLICITY, Basquiat is kinda the antithesis of that ... definitely a More is More kinda dude! I find the final images frenetic and not sure I'd want to live with them. However, I totally adore their intent. Such freedom of expression. Such UNrestraint!<br /><br />mmmm. Judy Chicago's Dinner Party. Someday! <br />As an aside... a group of us were going to do an altered book interpretation of that installation and the group leader contacted Chicago's "handlers" (for want of a better descriptor!) and they wanted nothing to do with it. Not even as a private endeavor. It rather took the sails out of the project and it died. Sad. I was really looking forward to delving into one of those women's lives!Jen Wordenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166427619338355642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-7344958823488308672015-06-17T08:56:36.332-04:002015-06-17T08:56:36.332-04:00Lucky you on so many levels... to see it all in pe...Lucky you on so many levels... to see it all in person, to share it with us and to be able to photograph it all to peruse again and again...Caterina Gigliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866569809702127806noreply@blogger.com
