Reviews
As an artist, the most precious thing is what's in the mind. Basquiat's sentences in this book are so delicate and not wasted. They show his inner world truthfully and precisely, why he was a unique person and a unique artist. I love this book. ---Ai Weiwei [Warsh] makes the contents sound good, too: 'this book provides a glimpse into Basquiat's incredible mind . . . . May his words and thoughts enliven your thinking today as much as they have inspired me for many decades.' * Times Literary Supplement *
This important and entertaining book exposes Basquiat's preoccupations, his creative contradictions, his humor, and his soul. To hear him explaining his artistic process, methods of revision, and sense of the world is to hear a voice of wisdom beyond his age. -Adam Bradley, author of Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop A wonderful book, Basquiat-isms brings us closer to understanding Basquiat's experiences as an artist and as a black man. We see glimpses of the artist's wit and his ideas about painting in equal measure. -Jordana Moore Saggese, author of Reading Basquiat
