Basquiat Documentary



I can't wait till I can see this here. I loved the Film Basquiat which was apparently utterly fictional. The film is entitled JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT: THE RADIANT CHILD, and I can't help but think of all the young black radiant children I know.

I remember back in the day my English teacher saying the Basquiat was the only great black painter. If only she knew of the legacy of white supremacy and the racism involved in western canonization which was so normative to her she couldn't see it right before her eyes.
