On Sunday I went to go see the documentary about Jean-Michele Basquiat. I did enjoy the film but I am more struck by how the tragic heroic artist figure was portrayed. He was definitely portrayed as the tragic artist, complete with drug addiction, homelessness and coming from nowhere. I recommend checking it out.
Sometimes films like this make impressionable young artists like myself feel like we are too well adjusted to be an artist.
ReplyDeleteI would also recommend the film, Basquiat directed by Julian Schnabel.
