MaghoxFr, can you tell me the title and singer of the song in the ending credits of part 3 ? thanks.

[MaghoxFr]

@thepathbeforeme I actually replied to your question on the 3rd video, but no problem :)

"Jimi Hendrix - Hear my train a comin (12 string Acoustic version). You MUST check it out: /watch?v=Xxzs3lGSu2U

Cheers."

I like his story, the buzz, the using white people's ignorance against them, but I just don't know anyone who knows about art that agrees his stuff is that good. It's the person, the appearances and the denial of who they thought he should have been in society that makes his story so interesting. The art; um, I'm glad he was recognized, he seemed like a fun, nice enough guy.

[MaghoxFr]

@IggleOckle Well I, as an obvious non-art-expert, like his stuff a lot. Its quality can be questioned but I think that it helped street art to break into the mainstream (and I'm not judging about this being good nor bad) in the same way Nirvana helped grunge to do the same. But obviously without the features you mention (appeal, personality, hype) media and art snobs wouldn't have been interested. I also think that it made evident how phoney art business is.

[trinitaterion]

problem with this kind of artists is that theyre ego oriented, they create fake idols for people to worship them and pay huge amounts of money.

What they produce is like farts of the capitalism.

I hope a new generation of artists can do ART that get our attention, instead of themselves. Theres a lot of that in the movie/pop music industry.

[MaghoxFr]

@trinitaterion I actually agree in everything you said, I liked the "farts of the capitalism" line. I just don't think it could be applied to Basquiat.

[lcabosa]

@chrisunderscorealton just a fake idol. created and manipulated  by journalists, art critics and capital investors, a free man that becomes a slave , lost is purpose in life.

[lcabosa]

@trinitaterion totally agree, puppets of capitalism, fake idols,. the end of empire, decadence.

[chrisunderscorealton]

@IggleOckle I think Basquiat didn't just make artworks, he, himself, was an artwork. His attitude, appearance, style, mannerisms and drive to be number 1 at whatever he did all combined to make him an artwork. He became an idol, the 'Radiant Child'.

Thank You for elucidating Basquiat's work for me. M

@repelghosts Damn dude, you still trying to sell those?? Every once in a while, I'll look thru vids here & you're always trying to sell those Basquia Drawings. Someone would have to be a dumbass to just send some YouTube commenter money for scribbles on paper that supposedly were created by Basquiat.

Who wants to get ripped off? IF they are real, you could easily sell them in the proper places where you'd get verification & max money for them. They'd be worth thousands. It's not a $5 comic

@misternylon His paintings fetched such high auction prices because of investment reasons & not because of anything on the canvas. It could have literally been a smelly turd & people would have bought it.

[IggleOckle]

@misternylon No, those ppl aren't in my rolodex. I don't know them. I don't know anyone around me that thinks he's that great. It's probably just a bias against some forms of neo expressionism. It's art and I'm no columnist,so I realize the futility of arguing with taste. I see Basquiat as more of a fashion/art icon, like Warhol. Not in the same league as say Dali. That's just my taste. I guess I'm jaded, don't like being duped.

[misternylon]

@IggleOckle You don't know of anyone who knows about art that agrees his stuff is that good?

Dennis Hopper, Andy Warhol, Debbie Harry, Bruno Bischofberger, Gagosian gallery, Mary Boone, Museum of modern art, Chicago art institute, Tate Modern, Michael Holman, Julian Schnabel, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Fab 5 Freddy... oh and the countless auction houses that sell his art to collectors worldwide for millions and millions of dollars.

It's a start.
