"Work fast" can be very wrongly interpretated as "Quantity over Quality". But for us, the over thinkers, that's the best advice of all. It's not about going fast, it's about going faster than you usualy go. Because in that way you don't think, you just do.
@@michaelmazzen There was even a study on two groups. One asked to sculpt 2 pots, which they'd be judged on. The other 10 pots which they'd be judged on(using average quality). The latter performed better. Can't remember the actual activity tho😅 Quantity over quality is timeless advice for beginners who want to skip the ugly works.
"Most of the flow that you will have while making art will come from all the things you are doing when you are not making art." That's something I always knew, but never put into words. Brilliant.
7:05"Well, that's kind of a slow process." "Well, I'm a slow person." This reminds me so much of something Tyson would say during interviews where people have no clue what they are truly looking at so it's best to let them live in their perception and be who they think they are. I'm a slow person was him saying the man can't comprehend him but he's whatever they perceive as long as he knows his truth. And obviously he is correct since he's the attraction and they are the ones looking in.
"As an artist, I have witnessed in others and in myself the commitment, genius, and sacrifices that come with the creative process. Each artist has a unique approach to creating, and it always surprises me how easy it is for people, who usually don't make art, to make assumptions about artists who aren't famous. Commercial success does not necessarily result from the quality of the artwork itself, but rather from effective marketing and the financial resources available to promote it."
Yes your right I honestly don’t like his art, it is very demonic to me but I am here to learn from his creative process similar but I never put as much time into it as he did into it every single piece of creative artwork is a piece of genius some just have more than others
I knew Basquiat. He was a friend of my uncle who was also an artist. I only watched him work a few times. Otherwise we just kind of hung out. He had no idea that his art would become so collectable; this was a guy who knew what it was like to struggle. He wasn't much of a talker, except when he was high. But he was very smart, you could see that. The drugs got him. He could still be painting today.
I can't believe this video came out two weeks ago. I've returned to it three times a day since it came out. Something about this message is assisting me massively in unlocking my potential, writing all night, determinedly practicing my crafts. I really appreciate the work that went into this video.
The steps I got for any type of work really: 1) get 2 reference sources, one visual, one philosophical/principles. 2) Just fckng do it. Create now, whatever really. Don't judge. Create more. Let the spirit express thru you and let the work walk you. 3) Create faster. Create more. Until it's empty of any idea or wish, then revert back to sources. 4) Repeat. And in the down time, following the ever truthful rule, 80/20, spend 20% of the 100% of working hours absorbing cool stuff.
You have to know the interviewer asking Basquiat about his anger was intentionally framing Basquiat as a "angry young black man", a racist stereotype of the 80s and before. This interview makes my blood boil. Its a miracle he kept his cool and stayed calm and didnt play much into the framing.
GOD, you see the second he realizes it too. The considerable pause after such an open question, then he gives a little laugh leading to "I don't know". Happy someone else noticed that part and went out of their way to mention in a comment.
@titoadesanya9369 it is not. its well known. i have seen this infamous interview in whole many times. Basquiat mentioned several times throughout his short life time the racism he faced as a black artist among high class society. Dont make stpid comments because you "feel" like it.
@@FloralShoppingCard amazing so many black ppl seem to point at the white man for their misfortunes. even today. even after having a black president. anyway he milked that message pretty good.
I actually got the vibe that the interviewer was a 'woke' kind of guy and was hoping Basquiat would provide a powerful sound-bite on his anger about oppression and stuff, for other leftist intellectuals to solemnly nod their heads in agreement with.
Make a collage of random things you find in the real world, like roman belt buckets or Ellen DeGeneres demon-ass looking stare, paint it on a wall or canvas with other symbology and weird finds. Become prolific.
Another classic. I usually don’t look at comments but it was interesting seeing how divisive they are. Thats when you know you’re seeing real art (not just making something perfect for the masses but something that elicits an emotion). Loved this one bro!!
Great video. I've studied Basquiat for a while and I always end up very sad that he had to deal with so many stupid people doing interviews. I haven't heard a good interview yet.
his last painting "riding with death" although simplistic by Basquait standards is a mastrpiece, probably my favorite pantings. the way he prophisized his own passing with the paintings subject matter gives it so much prominance
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a while. I didn’t plan on watching the whole thing, but these 8 minutes felt like 30 seconds. Fantastic work!
I hadnt heard of Basquiat until this video. I think it popped up in my reccomended because i had been researching a jacket my friend wanted me to sell for him. The jacket is a Members only x Basquiat collab. I took the listing off ebay and I bought the jacket myself. Thank you for making art not content.

to elaborate on the "work fast" advice: work now, think later. if you are constantly thinking about how your work should look or be like before you even begin, you will fail. Your body hates overthinking. Splash wild colors on that canvas first, write that incoherent story first. You must begin to truly start. However, don't think you are done. If you only listen to the "work fast" advice you will end up producing poor work, especially if you have little to no experience. It can work for some, and it worked for Basquiat because he already mastered "work now, think later."
*Wow, what an enlightening and motivating video! Basquiat's work ethic was truly one of a kind, and this video captures that spirit perfectly. Learning about his unique approach to art is not just inspiring, but it's also a reminder that dedication and passion can truly elevate one's craft. Thanks for sharing this insightful content!*
on 2022, I went to The Broad in LA and see for the first time a basquiat collection, super inspired by that I beginned to work with canvas. Love basquiat.

Clicked on this video after I watched a video on Nick Rubin and creativity. Coming from a high-school where the band program was more of a show band and for entertainment, and then, diving into super strict, regimented drum corps, I hardened. Became a bit square - but - what remains the same is being humble, being able to (as with part V): Study, memorize, and internalize, and apply these strict techniques across the board. Trying to balance that regiment/ "academia" of what's taught and having freedom is tough. It can't be forced. I had never heard of BASQUIAT to be honest. But I think I've seen their work (crazy how that works), and something to take away is how he is able to take what he "studied, memorized, and internalized" and apply it in a fashion that is totally unique. Also, talk about humbling. Meets his idol, and shows the greatest offer an artist could probably ever receive. Wow. Still love the square and neat tucked pockets of rhythms, and love a couple of artists I follow for their more lax, dilla/ off-grid style drums, but everything has a place. Able to play "out of pocket", but I love saving those moments for when there is an urgent message. Got a part-time job as a line member for a kitchen, making money, taking that post-work energy and getting right home to making music or recording samples. People think its absolutely crazy how consistent the energy is. But its worth it. Great video.
i needed this so, so badly today. I'm so fired up over it, this video was great. i just decided to leave art school as i'm disabled and needed a surgery last year, so my final year was just too much - it slowed me to a torturous, grinding halt and it's been stealing every ounce of inspiration and love for my work that i've got in my body and soul, i could feel the fire dying. So i'm leaving. But i decided i've been at this too long not to submit a piece for my degree show... i have 5 days to make a painting. It's going to be about the struggle. And god dammit i'm going to put my fucking heart and soul in this piece. RIP Basquiat. I've learned so much from him over the years.

Speed part most important. Nothing kills your creativity like taking your time and judging yourself. At least in the CREATING process. obviously finalizing and refining you gotta take the time.. but in the creating you gotta go go go. Especially now that smartphones exist. Too much temptation to judge self and judge instincts
This is one of the best art docos I've ever seen. Thanks so much!!! Of course, brilliant subject too - Basquiat was unparalleled, so dang intelligent and creative and original. Supreme.
I remember reading in Widow Basquiat: A Memoir : Jennifer Clement that he performed voodoo type rituals in the MOMA, like pouring some water near a painting when the guard wasn't looking. I found that interesting, that stuck with me, and subsequently I could see that voodoo-ness in his work with the symbols and the crossed out words etc.
These rituals work great in music too. Just be careful what you consider "taking" from other musicians. There is a fine line between being inspired by a song or musical artist and having similar production style vs. actual plagiarism that could land you in court if the music is released publicly.
"Most of the flow that you will have while making art, will come from all the things you were doing when you were NOT making art" Translation: You cant have art without inspiration. In between creating, consume all things influential and inspiring. A small personal reflection and note to artists out there: This is so much harder said than done, but it is a slow practice for other artists. I went to art school, and the main thing that they tell us to do is to get inspired, to read, to interpret in our own opinion. As I am grateful for my art school experience, it also hindered me, because a lot of art schools are out there to condition students to monetize their art instead of focusing on the creativity and wonder of it. They use examples of Jean Michael and Keith Haring as success stories. Because of this, I have spent the last 10 years of my life "hustling" my art and am now recovering from artistic burn-out. Not everyone can be as influential and ground breaking as Jean Michael, but you can do things that bring yourself joy. Focus on that.
This is one of the best videos of Basquiat I have watched. I was wowed when you showed the reference material. Really learned a lot from this video. Thank you for making and sharing this 🙏🏽✨✨
This is evoking a lot of emotions in me right now.. I used to want to be an artist of some kind, but my head kept getting in my way, days of creative block, imposter syndrome of how fast I got work done, so much upto the point I figured I was better off doing monotonous jobs, that I switched to being a Software Engineer. I've been dreading doing creative things again, but this video re-instills some faith in me. Keep at it everyone!
The reason many people visit museums in Paris, particularly those featuring Renaissance and Impressionist works, is because the artists of these pieces devoted many years to mastering the elements of painting such as light, shadow, and structure. Their significant efforts are evident in their works, which provoke deep reflection and immense admiration. The skill and talent displayed are so remarkable that one never tires of viewing the paintings of Van Gogh, Rembrandt, and others. Regrettably, since that era, anyone who paints something is often regarded as an artist, which has diluted the meaning of 'art' to encompass nearly everything.
@@makeartnotcontent This is a very strange and irrelevant response to what I wrote. At the Musée d'Orsay, several works by a non-white artist were also displayed, which unfortunately took over a significant part of the first floor of the museum, and now it's clear why. Those who created this absurd situation thought that discrimination needs to be corrected at the expense of art... So just because he is not white, he deserves to take part in one of the world's major museums.
Loved you Prince video, but this video is even better. I'm glad you introduced me to this artist, since these videos are so inspiring from your interpretations and their work ethics. And for all artists KEEP THE CREATIVITY FLOWING. You can never 'over' create.
I was told that i was to fast with my work . That people would not appreciate the work if it had not taken time. I am fast as an artist using acrylics. This video gives me so much inspiration.

Jesus is my buffer between any addictions and my better creative self. Any addiction of any kind can be a ball and chain. Jesus has set me free and I do not forget this.
Love how he used the symbols book and of course as you say he had a purpose and meaning to his art that transcended just making good art, he was sharing a powerful message and reframing it, propelling it with his art.
Depression he was depressed I was just recently depressed and during my depression all I wanted to do was write children’s book s I wrote 30 books in two months. When I read one of them I couldn’t even believe I wrote it. Ideas kept Comin and coming and with each book I felt a thrill when my students see my books they gave the same excitement

edit: i also included a number of symbols from the book referenced at 0:30 in the painting, as well as symbols related to my nigerian heritage
Even if you make mistakes going fast you still learn more, what doesn't work, and out of the desire to accomplish quickly, new ways it can work.
Speed part most important. Nothing kills your creativity like taking your time and judging yourself. At least in the CREATING process. obviously finalizing and refining you gotta take the time.. but in the creating you gotta go go go. Especially now that smartphones exist. Too much temptation to judge self and judge instincts
You get it. Practicing speed = practicing not overthinking.

Great Job. This was very inspiring and well put together. Made me want to get back to work immediately.
Ah, that's great to hear. Go!
This is one of the best art docos I've ever seen. Thanks so much!!! Of course, brilliant subject too - Basquiat was unparalleled, so dang intelligent and creative and original. Supreme.
Wow beautiful.. too sad he died at 27 ..but glad he was alive ,even though it was for a short time.. Thank you friend where ever you are❤🙌🙏🏼🔥
That’s crazy
Why?
@@gsogso3444 27 is so young. He accomplished so much in a such a short amount of time
The 27 club is packed

I remember reading in Widow Basquiat: A Memoir : Jennifer Clement that he performed voodoo type rituals in the MOMA, like pouring some water near a painting when the guard wasn't looking. I found that interesting, that stuck with me, and subsequently I could see that voodoo-ness in his work with the symbols and the crossed out words etc.
This is amazing. Thank You so much for creating this.
Excellent! love it thank you - i have always known about Basquiat but had no idea about the books he used, very awesome and respectful thank you!
These rituals work great in music too. Just be careful what you consider "taking" from other musicians. There is a fine line between being inspired by a song or musical artist and having similar production style vs. actual plagiarism that could land you in court if the music is released publicly.
"Most of the flow that you will have while making art, will come from all the things you were doing when you were NOT making art" Translation: You cant have art without inspiration. In between creating, consume all things influential and inspiring.
A small personal reflection and note to artists out there:
This is so much harder said than done, but it is a slow practice for other artists. I went to art school, and the main thing that they tell us to do is to get inspired, to read, to interpret in our own opinion. As I am grateful for my art school experience, it also hindered me, because a lot of art schools are out there to condition students to monetize their art instead of focusing on the creativity and wonder of it. They use examples of Jean Michael and Keith Haring as success stories. Because of this, I have spent the last 10 years of my life "hustling" my art and am now recovering from artistic burn-out.
Not everyone can be as influential and ground breaking as Jean Michael, but you can do things that bring yourself joy. Focus on that.
This is one of the best videos of Basquiat I have watched. I was wowed when you showed the reference material. Really learned a lot from this video. Thank you for making and sharing this 🙏🏽✨✨
This is evoking a lot of emotions in me right now.. I used to want to be an artist of some kind, but my head kept getting in my way, days of creative block, imposter syndrome of how fast I got work done, so much upto the point I figured I was better off doing monotonous jobs, that I switched to being a Software Engineer. I've been dreading doing creative things again, but this video re-instills some faith in me. Keep at it everyone!
I love how it looks like he paints more than one work at once like walking back and forth between them and using different ideas at once
He did.
The reason many people visit museums in Paris, particularly those featuring Renaissance and Impressionist works, is because the artists of these pieces devoted many years to mastering the elements of painting such as light, shadow, and structure. Their significant efforts are evident in their works, which provoke deep reflection and immense admiration. The skill and talent displayed are so remarkable that one never tires of viewing the paintings of Van Gogh, Rembrandt, and others. Regrettably, since that era, anyone who paints something is often regarded as an artist, which has diluted the meaning of 'art' to encompass nearly everything.
Thank God. Now art isn't only determined by what white people think.
@@makeartnotcontent This is a very strange and irrelevant response to what I wrote. At the Musée d'Orsay, several works by a non-white artist were also displayed, which unfortunately took over a significant part of the first floor of the museum, and now it's clear why. Those who created this absurd situation thought that discrimination needs to be corrected at the expense of art... So just because he is not white, he deserves to take part in one of the world's major museums.
oh my god... this is the video my creativity has been craving
thumbnail, video -masterpiece. really
i love this collection of videos. amazing. thank you.
Loved you Prince video, but this video is even better. I'm glad you introduced me to this artist, since these videos are so inspiring from your interpretations and their work ethics. And for all artists KEEP THE CREATIVITY FLOWING. You can never 'over' create.
Thanks for encouraging other artists out there. 🙌🏾

Lets be honest and very real. Good art is hard as fuck to accomplish.
This is one of the best videos I've watched in my life. Fr. Very inspirational.
Jesus is my buffer between any addictions and my better creative self. Any addiction of any kind can be a ball and chain. Jesus has set me free and I do not forget this.

Speed! Speed! Speeeeeed!😢 I need some of that.
Love how he used the symbols book and of course as you say he had a purpose and meaning to his art that transcended just making good art, he was sharing a powerful message and reframing it, propelling it with his art.
This the guy jay z thinks he is

Jay z is an incredibly talented artist.
Ether the thing that makes your soul burn slow . 🔥

Depression he was depressed I was just recently depressed and during my depression all I wanted to do was write children’s book s I wrote 30 books in two months. When I read one of them I couldn’t even believe I wrote it. Ideas kept Comin and coming and with each book I felt a thrill when my students see my books they gave the same excitement
