Amazing, thank you so much for sharing James. I'm going to see a huge Basquiat exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario next weekend (biggest one in Canada to date). I can't wait.
A great piece of guerrilla filmmaking James! Interesting to see his one sided notebooks- perhaps he had an idea that one day they would be shown as individual works....or maybe the paper is so thin that you'd just get the image coming through form the other side. These works stand the test of time, infact couldn't they have been made today? The only thing that I'm less interested in is the curatorial examination that comes with showing in a museum. By over explaining the philosophical meanings what we get is a ridiculous meeting of spontaneous creativity and dry analysis, it's like an academic study of early hip hop, at the same time it opens the mind to what it's about but at the same time kills it
At 5:53, this piece which I must say is very in depth and complex to the mind to say the least which really makes it stand out by all art work standards .... and therefor I would have to title it ... "The Lost Mechanical Engineer" or "drugged up" would be more like it. No doubt JMB was a one of a kind genius artist who lived within his mind that he put on paper/canvas but at the same time to the average eye it makes no sense which I feel is what made him the genius who he was and still is over all to this day! RIP JMB
Basquiat is a Titan; would've missed it without you brother --Thanks. Because I'm so deeply into the work though, and you moved so fast with your camera, I got seasick -- no joke. It's the only thing that's difficult about your otherwise amazing work in providing this for those of us not in the epicenter -- that spinning camera. Appreciated fully though. Respect. X
Thanks for the videos. Where did/do artist buy these huge rolls of canvas without seams (down the center) and did they buy gesso by the gallons/5 gallons? Always amazed by these massive pieces.
You can buy canvas just about any width you need. I used to buy it 8' wide in the 70's. Gesso has always been expensive. I never used gesso ever, I used exterior house paint to prime and stretch my canvases.
It amazes me that in Brooklyn, they let this person upstairs with a camera to do this jacked up bootleg film. And if he really met Jean, he would have kicked him for not saying his name correctly. Get out! I detest these colonizers.
THIS IS PERFECT TIMING! I am working with Graffiti art in the classroom and saw this show being advertised. THANK you for the video. I cannot wait to share the ideas and observations with the Drawing students. Basquiat was a fantastic addition to the list of street artists and I hope that my students appreciate the video as much as I do. ArtWithKorb.com
a refreshing approach from the predictable uptight gallery art critic commentators - i am absolutely OK with your pronunciation of Jean as Jean - it did not detract for me from your obvious awe inspired video
Abe Gohr yes yes I knew that. I understand and understood two years ago that there’s no ‘o’ sound. I only meant John as in the relative name in English, not in terms of pronunciation.
.Your pronounciation is ignorant. Jean is a French name and is pronounced differently in French - not pronounced like Gene. Jean in French is John in American English if that's your inclination. Thanks JaNes.
So, How many Muses did Andy have die on him? Edith Minturn "Edie" Sedgwick, Basquiat, Andrea Feldman, Candy Darling, Paul Johnson, Eric Emerson, John Curtis Holder, Jr. and Mario Amaya to name a few that died at least partly because of their association and possible life style of Andy.
Blue Bird his friends did say in his documentary that he liked to do drugs while painting sometimes because it helped him concentrate.. however he did have a natural talent and could do without it.
I really appreciate your videos. Thank you

Thank you Kate.

Still watching... This one is personal. The dialog didn't end at all just transferred into another body!

It really grinds my ears how he can't pronounce Jean's name right !
me, too. lol
Really like the Signs. The ability to turn drawings into sculptures is dope.
thank you

@@msafirstein Ive painted Amercan apartments for wealthy old in the new york is many years. always with the gallons of gesso.

I read something that said "true story, shot a fools head off."

this isn't graffiti
Thx!
wow, I love that one of two cars, old tin!
Watched him develop all those years but never heard his name pronounced properly?
a refreshing approach from the predictable uptight gallery art critic commentators - i am absolutely OK with your pronunciation of Jean as Jean - it did not detract for me from your obvious awe inspired video
Thanks for your comments. I'm still a work in progress...
It's amazing!!!
Good stuff!
LEGEND!!
Hi its me Joseph Charles Colin
Who said he was dumb? His skin?
It's "Jahn" not "Gene"
Really enjoying your videos and commentaries... Out of curiosity, who is Kate? Hope you don't mind. Wishing you continued success, James! :)
perfect
Jean Michel ! Un ser Luminoso "
Excelente
Good video, James, as always, but why do you continue to insist on mispronouncing Jean-Michel? It's Jean as in John, not Jean as in blue jeans.
whateveritsnoyes No, its [ʒɑ̃n] or [ʒɑ̃] with a tiny n, like Jean Cocteau , Jean-Paul Sartre, Jean Genet... there is no [o] sound.
dats how det talk in brooklyn hokay?
Abe Gohr yes yes I knew that. I understand and understood two years ago that there’s no ‘o’ sound. I only meant John as in the relative name in English, not in terms of pronunciation.
rd264 sure...
Suggestion to viewers: Just turn the audio off - the IQ goes up way over 87. LOL.
Who's this female artist in the beginning, and what's the name of this her song. I think i like it
YEEEEEESSSS
A tip from an Aussie, If I may. Melbourne. The sound is: burn, not born. 🙂
this guys needs to learn how to correctly pronounce these artists names......
Basquait is definitely original and authentic, but I think the narrative on his note books are a bit overstated.
He knew what he was doing, when i first read, it got me, it felt intriguing, higher than poetry.
.Your pronounciation is ignorant. Jean is a French name and is pronounced differently in French - not pronounced like Gene. Jean in French is John in American English if that's your inclination. Thanks JaNes.
Where ever there are beautiful women...
gene michel ?
Most English people drop the "t" off the end of this name.
Jeeen.
Word play*
it's JEAN and it's a French name...
thats like blue jeans. its john as in pope john paul. and basket. not bask-ey ay.
110 million*
you pronounce his name very wrong and you also pronounced leonardo de vinci wrong
very good video though
dats how dey speak it in brooklyn hokay?

Don Emigholz Piss off you ignorant fool,..you're stinkn up the joint.
Jaden Jahci Woe, Take it easy Snowflake.
Don Emigholz My point exactly,...oooh,... Andy this,.. and Andy that,...ya,
we know who the snowflake is.
That love affair went bad pretty quick, my point exactly, do dah do dah day
wasn't much of his work fuelled by drugs?
because I used to paint some fabulous stuff while drinking wine...just asking...
No, his work was not fueled by drugs. His work was fueled by research, hard work, talent, vision & passion. His death by overdose was fueled by drugs
Blue Bird his friends did say in his documentary that he liked to do drugs while painting sometimes because it helped him concentrate.. however he did have a natural talent and could do without it.
Gene meeschel
lol this is way better on mute
Great hand!? Junkie scrawl & gibberish.
What a waste of art materials. Bloated hype.
hey snobby thats what dey likes in brooklyn hokay?
Nul 👎🏼
Beautiful. Thank you
