Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before his death at the age of twenty-seven, Jean-Michel Basquiat completed nearly 2,000 works. These unique compositions—collages of text and gestural painting across a variety of media—quickly made Basquiat one of the most important and widely known artists of the 1980s. Reading Basquiat provides a new approach to understanding the range and impact of this artist’s practice, as well as its complex relationship to several key artistic and ideological debates of the late twentieth century, including the instability of identity, the role of appropriation, and the boundaries of expressionism. Jordana Moore Saggese argues that Basquiat, once known as “the black Picasso,” probes not only the boundaries of blackness but also the boundaries of American art. Weaving together the artist’s interests in painting, writing, and music, this groundbreaking book expands the parameters of aesthetic discourse to consider the parallels Basquiat found among these disciplines in his exploration of the production of meaning. Most important, Reading Basquiat traces the ways in which Basquiat constructed large parts of his identity—as a black man, as a musician, as a painter, and as a writer—via the manipulation of texts in his own library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring newly commissioned essays and photography of rarely exhibited works, this book highlights the radicalism of Jean Dubuffet, who was one of the most provocative voices of the postwar avant-garde. In 1940s occupied Paris, Jean Dubuffet began to champion a progressive vision for art; one that rejected classical notions of beauty in favor of a more visceral aesthetic. Taking a pioneering approach to materiality and technique, the artist variously blended paint with sand, glass, tar, coal dust, and string. At the same time, he began to assemble a collection of Art Brut--work that was made outside the academic tradition of fine art--even visiting psychiatric wards from 1945 to collect work by patients. This book features texts from leading scholars and is accompanied by images that illuminate Dubuffet's attempts to move beyond the artistic expectations of his time. The works are grouped into six thematic sections that focus on specific series, from his graffiti-inspired "Walls" and his notorious portrait series, "People are Much More Beautiful Than They Think" to the "Corps de dames," a controversial series of "female" landscapes, and his anthropomorphic sculptures, "Little Statues of Precarious Life." Exquisitely produced, this celebration of Dubuffet's work embraces his world view that art is for everyone, not just the elite.

Book excerpt: Der amerikanische Maler und Zeichner Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) gehört zu den schillernsten Persönlichkeiten der Kunstgeschichte, seine Freundschaft mit Andy Warhol, Keith Haring und Madonna sind legendär. Die retrospektiv angelegte Publikation zeichnet die einzigartige künstlerische Entwicklung und kunsthistorische Bedeutung des bereits mit 27 Jahren auf tragische Weise verstorbenen Künstlerstars nach. Seine Werke sind von eben jener Intensität und Energie geprägt, die auch sein kurzes Leben bestimmte. In nur acht Jahren gelang es Basquiat nicht nur vergleichbar Egon Schiele ein umfassendes Œuvre zu schaffen, sondern auch neben der konzeptuellen Kunst und der Minimal Art neue figurative und expressive Elemente zu etablieren. Als 21-jähriger wurde er zum bislang jüngsten documenta-Teilnehmer und entscheidenden Vorläufer der Jungen Wilden, aber auch der Kunst der 1990er-Jahre.

Book excerpt: The Joan Miro Foundation presents A body without limits, a major exhibition sponsored by BBVA and curated by the art historian Jean-Louis Prat. It's aimed at helping us to understand the changes in the portrayal of the human body that took place in the twentieth century, a period in which the human figure ceased to be solely a portrait or a symbol of beauty and became a vehicle for expressing emotions. The exhibition contains over 80 paintings and sculptures, produced between 1900 and 2000, by 41 artists from all of the main avant-garde movements: Maillol, Schiele, Dix, Matisse, Picasso, Mir, Duchamp, Chagall, Moore, Dubuffet, Basquiat, Fischl, Tpies and Saura, among others. The works are arranged in such a way as to demonstrate by confrontation, juxtaposition or contrast the wealth of the artistic languages used in the last century as well as the individual contributions of each of the artists.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book: This national bestseller is a vivid biography of the meteoric rise and tragic death of art star Jean-Michel Basquiat Painter Jean-Michel Basquiat was the Jimi Hendrix of the art world. In less than a decade, he went from being a teenage graffiti artist to an international art star; he was dead of a drug overdose at age twenty-seven. Basquiat’s brief career spanned the giddy 1980s art boom and epitomized its outrageous excess. A legend in his own lifetime, Basquiat was a fixture of the downtown scene, a wild nexus of music, fashion, art, and drugs. Along the way, the artist got involved with many of the period’s most celebrated personalities, from his friendships with Keith Haring and Andy Warhol to his brief romantic fling with Madonna. Nearly thirty years after his death, Basquiat’s story—and his art—continue to resonate and inspire. Posthumously, Basquiat is more successful than ever, with international retrospectives, critical acclaim, and multimillion dollar sales. Widely considered to be a major twentieth-century artist, Basquiat’s work has permeated the culture, from hip-hop shout-outs to a plethora of products. A definitive biography of this charismatic figure, Basquiat: A Quick Killing in Art is as much a portrait of the era as a portrait of the artist; an incisive exposé of the eighties art market that paints a vivid picture of the rise and fall of the graffiti movement, the East Village art scene, and the art galleries and auction houses that fueled his meteoric career. Basquiat resurrects both the painter and his time.
Download or read book The Jean Michel Basquiat Reader written by Jordana Moore Saggese and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive collection of the words and works of a movement-defining artist. Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) burst onto the art scene in the summer of 1980 as one of approximately one hundred artists exhibiting at the 1980 Times Square Show in New York City. By 1982, at the age of twenty-one, Basquiat had solo exhibitions in galleries in Italy, New York, and Los Angeles. Basquiat's artistic career followed the rapid trajectory of Wall Street, which boomed from 1983 to 1987. In the span of just a few years, this Black boy from Brooklyn had become one of the most famous American artists of the 1980s. The Jean-Michel Basquiat Reader is the first comprehensive sourcebook on the artist, closing gaps that have until now limited the sustained study and definitive archiving of his work and its impact. Eight years after his first exhibition, Basquiat was dead, but his popularity has only grown. Through a combination of interviews with the artist, criticism from the artist's lifetime and immediately after, previously unpublished research by the author, and a selection of the most important critical essays on the artist's work, this collection provides a full picture of the artist's views on art and culture, his working process, and the critical significance of his work both then and now.
