Illuminations, which made "State of the Art" from which this sequence comes (shot in 1986), also produced "Shooting Star" in 1990, largely because we'd met Jean-Michel on the earlier production. I regret that, largely because of rights issues, "Shooting Star" isn't currently available.
I met Jean 3 or 4 times the last time after the Vrej Baghoomioan Show in April 1988...One of the most generous ,intelligent,kind, soft hearted and gentle souls that I have ever met...I purchased over 40 drawings and several paintings from him...I helped him in the day,and now that time has passed,he has helped me,just by collecting his art.I feel blessed. Love you Jean,think of you everyday.
I hate what the interviewer had to say. Saying that Basquiat "defaced" Warhol's art and by portraying Basquiat as someone who simply got lucky. This is completely false but never the less, I love Basquiat with all my heart. Its nice to see him in interviews (which are hard to find), alive and speaking. His voice, the quality an texture of it; it makes me love him more.
Jean-Michel Basquiat was the Artist I chose to study for my GCSE art exam. Our teacher told the class to choose an Artist whose work we found interesting. But I new that wouldn't be enough to interest me. Because to me art is about the Painter and not the painting. So instead I chose an Artist who I thought was an interesting person. And as soon as I came across Basquiat I automatically knew I would be studying him. I did a self portrait in his style. Only thing I ever got an A for in my life.
I knew Basquiat as a friend.... He was a very wonderful, fresh young artist. Extremely creative. Sad to read some of the posts here. Do you all want to live in a lifeless, artless , Low sodium-gravy- in- a -can world???
what was he like when he wasn’t uncomfortable and on the defensive ? it seems like these interviewers were always kind of making him like that. cant find any footage of him not at least a little on edge
Such a powerful collaboration - it's difficult to conceive of any two artists being able to complement and elaborate on each other's work like this - like you said - the shaman & the wizard!
I tell myself both of these artists are unskilled and juvenile in their technique. Just copy paste or doodle on stuff and it's worth a ton. Modern art makes me sad, and I guess if it's meant to provoke an emotion, that would be it. I guess this is what art has come to after photos came into existence. To each their own I guess; seems like they found a good hustle.
When I'm walking through an art gallery or museum and see something random out of the corner of my eye that strikes my soul and I'm drawn to it like a magnet, it's my body telling me that and no one else. That overwhelming bodily sensation you get when you see something that just resonates so intensely for some reason you can't explain. That doesn't come from anyone else. You can know what is popular while still knowing what ~you~ like.
There's a lot more taste making going on with modern art. Thats why I love the old masters. Even if you didn't know them at all, their work had intrinsic skill, talent, and beauty. Lots of people don't consider a Rothco or Pollock painting to be any good. But nobody could look at a Diego Velasquez painting and deny its greatness.
Basquait was an "outsider" brought in to the established art world,which is a fickle, and cut throat world at the best of times. His autism was definitely a driving force,for sure. Warhol was a 'bridge' for a lot of "outsiders" but you gotta bare in mind, those who entered,had to be made aware that it was just that,a factory! Check out Duchamp and the Dadaists it might go some way to "educating" you in the many layers (no pun intended) of art mediums and practices within different cultures. Pablo Picasso with his "cubism" or check out DeKooning. This is why I love art personally,it raises questions and gives answers,but you got to dig deep sometimes.
Not all the Warhol's crowd gave Basquiat fame... let's all remember Mr. Rene Ricard, Ms. Annina Nosei & Mr. Bruno Bischofberger as well. And thanks to Julian Schnabel, that gave us a somewhat look at Basquiat life & paintings. I remain a fan. Godspeed & Peace to all.
at the time it was warhol chasing basquiat- no disrespect intended. nothing wrong in chasing basquiat - his energy everything about him ... i always thought jimi hendrix was the shortest way of describing what it felt like watching him walk , work , talk -his genius which i was lucky enough to witness a few times. 83/4
Know how it feels to be caught up in the drugs and alcohol. Clean and sober 19 years this past June. Basquiat was born in 1960 the same year I was born. Feels like I lost a brother. Would have truly been something if he were alive today.😟
He was an insightful contemporary artist that really earned significant attention and deservedly still does today. Art and commerce is always a very sexy and dangerous combination that had in many ways resulted in his death. He will be missed. In the 90's came the turning point in NYC. With money, real estate values, and status as important as it became here , much of the character and characters of the city had vanished. Here's to the future. Hope.
This is racist, why is Basquiat automatically Andys inferior and a "streetsmart rebel". They made things together that makes them by definition EQUAL.. God this is annoying
Watch the movie "Basquiat" (1996), it's full of that kind of observation. Because he was young and black, many did not take him seriously. But then again, he grew up in a middle class family, his dad was an accountant, and he was a drug addict. Andy was a bully, but a well established artist by the time JMB came on the scene. So of course he would be considered inferior to Andy...at Andy's insistance.
I stayed with Paul Andy's bro ,at his private farm in the section of Smock,PA..Paul,Andy's oler brother and his wife Madeline were absolutely wonderful to me.Paul gave me 2 of his paintings for 'Absolut Vodka', with his trademark 'chicken foot stamps', and a Campbell's 'Pepper Pot', painting on paper,which I am offering for sale next month. Best to all Warhol fans and do not forger Jean Michel.still have a few of his drawings kicking around somewhere. Cheers! G
RIP Andy Warhol (August 6, 1928 - February 22, 1987), aged 58 And RIP Jean-Michel Basquiat (December 22, 1960 - August 12, 1988), aged 27 You both will be remembered as legends
When an artist becomes an icon, I wonder how much of what he does is genuine and how much is just to make a lotta dough. It feels like money ruins art, because the goal of the art becomes money. So, the simple fact that art sells is bad. But also, how else could an artist make money? Maybe it's just what it is: a challenge.
Check out Alec Monopolys work. That's exactly how i feel not just about him but about every artist who does that. I think they all sell out at one point or another.
Well, you gotta eat. But I totally understand with what you're saying. Once money is involved, I'm talking about 100's of thousands, millions...deadlines to get art, books, movies, etc to be put out makes it less genuine.
Basquiat's work is a prime example of, you don't have to be perfect in order to be a good artist, it's the thought within each creation that makes all the difference. Basquiat's creativity showed that even the most unusual ideas & subjects can be the most interesting. And that's saying a heck of a lot.
They are real artists for the legacy they left behind. They mark the art history, you can find them in any famous museum around the world. The world made them famous without asking you if they deserve it or not. I like their art or not, they are still artist. Anyway, I will check your creations to see what are U up with. For the rest of us, the art is so different and wonderful. Is nice to feel it ! Colors, music, love and peace for everybody !
Wow, a lot of haters and ignoramuses out there. This captures the moment perfectly. The tensions between Basquiat and everyone else, including the gallery owner, Warhol and the fotogs through subtle and not so subtle gestures tells you a lot about the 80s f'ed up art world and how Basquiat was getting boxed in and pushed to sell his soul. Anyway, even if you don't like, or are repulsed by the art, this can be appreciated as a historical reference.
Andy looks so pale and fragile in his final years. :( But he was still so young. ..I wish he were still around but his legacy continues. (: Whenever we see a soup can or a coca cola or even a multi colored marilyn monroe painting there can only be one genius who comes to mind.
I'm not knowledgeable about art ar all - but I love Basquiat. His paintings really make me feel something. Idk what it is but I get lost looking at them. Deeply
One of the originators of Typography. Thats what makes him GREAT. Plus he was always high on something just like Warhol. That was how they can always make sense of the work they produced.
I Hobnob with the Hobnobbers. Classic! Warhol is my dream piece for my collection. I may do my own custom like homage to Warhol like Basquiat did, only I want it to look like a Warhol
ahahahahahahahahaaa. So that makes you one along with millions of other people ... for scribbles worthy of the fridge and done by tons of doodlers all over the planet sketching scribbled faces in their sketch books; the abundance of kids that draw anime pictures are more talented than him. The Tale of Two Utterly Pretentious Ponces one of which so stupid to fittingly go from middle-class to anarchistic poverty to riches... and then drug overdose... Geniussssss!!!! This is after being launched more so via opportune luck and connections among the circle jerk clique of other medicocre conceptual contrivers. Within their narcisissim of so desperately wanting to be "the artist" they actually seem to come across like self-absorbed pieces of shit from a lot of what I read. "I don’t listen to what art critics say. I don’t know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is"... because not everything is art. Yet he's contradicting himself because the artist is the biggest critic, doing the same thing and dictating what is or isn't art just because they churn out garbage. Agreed that one doesn't need to listen to critics... doesn't mean that one still isn't shit and the reason being is that they think whatever they do is art and shouldn't face criticism because they can't take it; more a mentality of - I don't care to listen to how subjectively shite I am compared with objectivity: whether or not one prefers Sid Vicious guitaring to Jimmy Hendrix, undoubtedly Hendrix is a better guitarist. In this aspect, Warhol and Jean were just utterly vapid.
"A sacrificial child." "Wild child," this was ugly. The narrator is horrible. This is nasty and unessary. Mr. Jean-Michel was young, gorgeous and smart!
@@Tassie85 Yes, their friendship was genuine but the critics of the day painted it as something wrong and suspect. In fact, Basquiat's friendship with Warhol caused him grief from the critics of the day and it upset B greatly.
He's One Artist That Stand's out from the Crowd. He's so Unique & Godly Gifted with his Mind & Hands Incredible. Colours just Takes em & ideas are from Another Planet!
Could someone confirm whether or not the kid in Gil Scott Heron's video for 'The Bottle' is a young Basquiat? I've found no mention of it anywhere but it looks so much look him! I've done a bit of research and he would have been just the right age for the boy too in 1972 when the video was made- in New York too! Kid comes in at 27 seconds!
who are you a descent of a austro hungarian emperor who hasnt appreciated art since the baroque period, you sound really well balanced and open to new ideas
very bloody good. There's an interview with him about his role in Phoebe Hoban's biography of JMB called A Quick Killing In Art that's really interesting.
@DrHoe77 But again, was there a lawsuit filed against Warhol when he created the Brillo box or the Soup can paintings? I'm wondering about the history.
No Gemma I still have a few of dear Jean's drawings and a little canvas work. The two painted drums are truy unnique indeed. email me before the magic day!

Wow that's Awesome that you met him, I bet you will treasure his memories forever and ever and ever and ever!
Wow
Sell me a painting
I’d love to look at those
For real🧐
He's so soft-spoken. Brilliant, beautiful mind and spirit which was just as sad, you can see it all in his eyes.
I agree with you 💯 percent!

and they even mentioned “the master” (referring to warhol), I was like: “Andy was his master?? LOL, wtf was that?”
Basqiuat and Andy are legends!!!

R.I.P. Andy Warhol and Jean Michel Basquiat!!
Don't like the way the narrator is subtly disrespecting Basquiat
i felt the same
The white man is always trying to subtly insult the black man.
WAVEDUP that’s called jealousy
but he was scribbling all over the bosses paintings
Charlie Rose did the same thing in his interview of Schnabel and Bowie about Basquiat.
Jean-Michel Basquiat would've turned 60 on December 22. R.I.P. JMB (December 22, 1960 - August 12, 1988)
Such a powerful collaboration - it's difficult to conceive of any two artists being able to complement and elaborate on each other's work like this -
like you said - the shaman & the wizard!
He was so young but yet so creative and so gifted, coming from nothing using his thoughts and experiences to creat amazing art
thankfully basquiat surpassed to be another one of andys factory superstar
Warhol did not create Basquiat, that's a myth. He was self-made before he ever became friends with Warhol.
All art is loved or hated because someone else told you to feel that way.
Couldn't agree more.
I tell myself both of these artists are unskilled and juvenile in their technique.
Just copy paste or doodle on stuff and it's worth a ton.
Modern art makes me sad, and I guess if it's meant to provoke an emotion, that would be it.
I guess this is what art has come to after photos came into existence.
To each their own I guess; seems like they found a good hustle.

If they did a movie kid cudi can play him
A Basquiat movie was already made in 1996.
I agree 100% & they can always make a new one
I absolutely agree!
Ghost Moist Fingerz Ghost fingerz they did a movie its great
Yeah but what if kid cudi is a bad actor

Know how it feels to be caught up in the drugs and alcohol. Clean and sober 19 years this past June. Basquiat was born in 1960 the same year I was born. Feels like I lost a brother. Would have truly been something if he were alive today.😟
🍀
I still have no idea why so many people hate this man.
To be young gifted and black
@@Rainbowsun1 Really ??? He is in this list just because of his colour and that idiotic blm.
When I see this clip it makes me realize how well done the movie was.
He was an insightful contemporary artist that really earned significant attention and deservedly still does today.

That is very interesting. I will thank you!!
Radiant child gives a better insight
Lioncub Jean Michelle was Warhols superior in every sense of being.
Andy was a very shy boy, and basquiat was a rebel, his neo popart style came from the graffiti world of the New York Streets
I stayed with Paul Andy's bro ,at his private farm in the section of Smock,PA..Paul,Andy's oler brother and his wife Madeline were absolutely wonderful to me.Paul gave me 2 of his paintings for 'Absolut Vodka', with his trademark 'chicken foot stamps', and a Campbell's 'Pepper Pot', painting on paper,which I am offering for sale next month.

wow..thanks so much for posting this...amazing!!!
My idol RIP to this legend
This narration is exactly the racist language that plagued Jean-Michele. Also, his desire to stand spoke volumes. So much in that exchange.
He's One Artist That Stand's out from the Crowd. He's so Unique & Godly Gifted with his Mind & Hands Incredible.

Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background from 0:44 - 1:22?

he is one of my favorite artist
Thanks for posting!
thanks so much for sharing that brother.
whats the song playing at the end?
there was a documentary about jean-michael called "shooting star". Is this from it and do you know where to get it?
who are you a descent of a austro hungarian emperor who hasnt appreciated art since the baroque period, you sound really well balanced and open to new ideas
anyone else reminded of jimi hendrix at the start?
Yes , very much like Hendrix talking .
Martian Subculture . Yes I was thinking the same. Jean-Michel has similar demeanour and way of talking as Jimi.
Yup jimi in art form
both 27 club
Martian Subculture no
The Background Music Is So 80s🤣
The song is called "Slippery People" by the Talking Heads
I love this art period
Thank you your words are inspirational
What is the song in the background? I love it.
Just watch the Basquiat movie in class today!
a year before i was born
Happy Birthday Andy!!!!! Hope you are enjoying the view up there. :)
does anyone know the jazz song playing when he's in the studio?
very bloody good. There's an interview with him about his role in Phoebe Hoban's biography of JMB called A Quick Killing In Art that's really interesting.
That biography isn't very good, I wouldn't rely on it too much.
Wonderful vid!
So weird how they both died within two years of each other.
@magic585, it's not Talking Heads, it's some kind of cover version. Anyone know who?
@DrHoe77 But again, was there a lawsuit filed against Warhol when he created the Brillo box or the Soup can paintings? I'm wondering about the history.
Jean-Michel is freaking awesome he has became one of my biggest inspirations
It"s a Talking Heads song-can't recall the title?
Anybody knows the name of the music?
The artist Basquiat had something to say with his life .His work is worth million's and worth every penny.
Is that a cover of a talking heads song in the background
I know! Slippery people! I wonder who it's sung by.
good spot! need to find this out
boom! of course...mavis staples!
@UTBigVic The already is a movie about Jean Michel Basquiat in which he is portrayed by Jeffery Wright
Where's the rest of them?
anyone know the jazz song plsying in basquiat's studio?
3:18 whats the name of the artwork in the background?
Crocodile , 1984 by Warhol and Basquiat.
That's Tseng Kwong Chi photographing them.
Andy Warhol opened doors for the Art of the century
He also opened his shitpipe for his lovers peckers
MrGaryo78 And?
And I hope they don't let you out of your cage too often.
Ariele Betterton MrGaryo78
please!
+wolfhh21 The door then slammed in his face when Warhol died...
this made me happy
LOL! you're close. It's actually a Talking Heads' track "Slippery People" being covered by an R&B/Soul group The Staple Singers.
@AristYdes the world ceases to amaze me...
No Gemma I still have a few of dear Jean's drawings and a little canvas work.

what documentary was that
