Jean-Michel Basquiat, artiste absolu

The life and work of New York-based artist Jean-Michel Basquiat unfold through a long quest for identity, anchored in his Haitian and Puerto Rican roots and reinforced by a foundational journey to Africa. Portraying this pivotal 20th-century painter, who died in 1988 at the age of 27, also evokes the place of Black American artists within the conservative, racially charged America of the Reagan years.
