me too, Andrew, me too. it's just so simply yet deeply beautiful. i wish Basquiat was still with us though. but this warms my heart ❤ thank you for posting this footage, life in a loop
The original sound track behind this scene was the jazz tune, "Chitlins Con Carne" by Kenny Burrell. This scene is from the underground movie "Downtown 81" released in 2000. Check it out, great scenes of the NYC art and music scene when it still had its edge. Jean-Michel is the main character of the movie.
Oh, I've chosen it because I've read or seen somewhere that he spent an entire summer or something listening to this in a loop (no pun intended). But otherwise, yeah, he would usually roll with bebop and Ravel's Boléro and stuff.
@@motherfinestudios He loved the song... by the way, the basic riff from Smells Like Teen Spirit by Cobain was entirely based on the riff from More than a feeling. How wonderous influence works sometimes...
Nobody in this comment section seems to like it, true, but somewhere on it I answered someone with the same doubt. Basically, Baquiat liked the song and passed a whole period listening to it nonstop, as he did with Ravel's Boléro and some others. Granted, bebop jazz would be a more appropriate choice, since it was reported as being closer to his actual taste (as reflected in numerous paintings, of course). None of that matters since I already managed to choose the soundtrack that pissed more people off.
The secret to being known as a great artist is finding a symbiotic relationship with another artist to prop each other up. Van Goh and Gaugan, Picasso and Matisse, Warhol and Basquiat. Plus playing up these primitive artists makes forgeries a lot easier to forge than say a Rembrandt.
@@omnikosm8472 nah, great artists can express, which this dude can, but they are also actually skilled, not making toddler scribbles, if the average non artist can do it, you are not a great artist
@@hellsraiserart2779 is not about who can do it , but who does it.Lots of people can paint like Picasso and Dali, but you can't replace those artists , no matter the skills.
@@omnikosm8472 Dali was actually technically skilled, picasso is the biggest con artist in the history of art, picasso, more like picasshole fuck that dude, it is about who can do it, and who has something to do.
And U have Zero knowledge of who he is, he could piss on that book and it would be work more than every paycheck of every person uve known that's worked.
And that book. If still around would go for at least 20mil...sorry to conflict ur intellect of not knowing who the greatest American artist that mastered visual language. Join the club of ppl who called his art primitive and can't figure it why his paintings go for 100mil.
@@stevebullock6084 using price as the arbiter of what is good art is exactly the same neoliberal mechanism that creates false artists like basquiat. You are the primitive man - one who follows the crowd unable to see any connection to the divine cosmos

could watch this for hours
Why?
me too, Andrew, me too. it's just so simply yet deeply beautiful.
i wish Basquiat was still with us though. but this warms my heart ❤
thank you for posting this footage, life in a loop
I wish they chose to play some pretentious music like schoenberg or Bach something.

I love him so much 🥺
Incredible video! But I wonder if Basquiat would approuve the musical choice.

@life in a loop Oh, I had no idea! Thank your for the piece of information.

Fact ,Basquiat listened to everything..therecwas mo way whi could not.
Basquiat actually use to blast Boston while he painted.🤯
my fuckin inspiration
wish i could’ve met this nigga
You should see the movie Basquiat. They did an amazing job. Still moved every time I see his work in Manhatten at MOMA.
Preach
I love the way he twists the pen in his hand as he uses it. Effortless crude elegance. He was awesome
The music blows
That was to purposely draw badly.
And yes the music stinks.
He held it as a child would!
wheres this from?
❤❤❤❤❤
Ripped off that old Cavalcante so badly here! 😂😂😂
hes just like me ...

Is that Jay-Z...
Hé j'ai le même feutre que lui

Yep!
@@motherfinestudios ahhh makes sense, dope!!
My hero

This music is absolutely ridiculous
But the music must go
Had to turn down the volume
Blah
Que tontería
