These immersive, collaged Xerox paintings epitomize Basquiat's extraordinary instinct for visual language. Their raw, allover compositions incorporate recycled and transformed signs and markings from the artist's everyday experiences, including motifs from his earlier artworks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe intricate web of content in this series presages the copy-paste sampling characteristic of the subsequent internet and post-internet generations, positioning Basquiat as a pioneer of the pre-digital age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-Michel Basquiat\u003c\/b\u003e (1960-88) grew up in Brooklyn.

This catalog, published in conjunction with the major retrospective at the Lugano Museum of Modern Art, provides an excellent overview of Basquiat's life and work. As an African-American painter, Basquiat has made a significant impact on the history of contemporary art. From his origins as a street graffiti artist, he became one of the most influential artists of his time: in 2005 his work is being celebrated in seperate exhibitions in the US and Europe. As emblems of the contemporary world, his explosive, colorful, and apparently naef canvases have an unparalleled force. The brief but intense artistic career of this celebrated proponent of the downtown New York art scene of the 1980s is covered through some fifty paintings and twenty works on paper drawn from prestigious private collections and museums. This book offers a new intense dialogue with the more modern expressions of twentieth-century art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRudy Chiappini is Director of the Lugano Modern Art Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 11.63 x 11.75 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 08, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48757310292217,"sku":"9783775745857","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/I4nDOJ9EW39783775745857.webp?v=1785946297","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/jean-michel-basquiat-xerox-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
