Jean-Michel Basquiat

Brooklyn born Jean-Michel Basquiat was a pop icon, poet, musician, and graffiti artist in the 1970s and 1980s heralded for bringing street art and graffiti into the gallery. At right, his famous memorial to a fellow artist (killed at the hands of police for graffitiing the subway.) Link in bio for more on this pivotal artist whose work is sadly, highly relevant today.⁠⠀
