Films We Love :: Jean-Michel Basquiat : The Radiant Child
We’ve been hearing a lot about this film and are happy it’s finally seeing the light of day. This documentary seems like it’s going to be a real treat for all Basquiat fans being that the film was made by Tamara Davis, who was a personal friend of the artist. Looking forward to a refreshing look at Basquiat as seen through the eyes of a friend rather than through the lens of the art world machine.
“Jean-Michel Basquiat first became famous for his art
And then he became famous for being famous
And then he became famous for being infamous”- Richard Marhsall
