Documental donde Tamra Davis rinde homenaje a su amigo y se adentra en su faceta iconoclasta. Su obra neoexpresionista, densa e influenciada por el bebop, surgió en un tiempo cuando el arte minimalista y conceptual eran la moda y él, un artista negro exitoso, enfrentaba el racismo y los prejuicios.

Tamra Davis’s essential documentary on a visionary, Jean-Michel Basquiat, looks beyond his enigmatic aura. A vibrant, tantalizing study of an artist who, in the director’s own words, “became famous for his art, and then became famous for being famous, and then became famous for being infamous.”
