The art is beautiful, but there is no real narrative to the story and lots of issues are over simplified.

The art was cool, but as some other reviews have mentioned, the story is hard to follow and there isn't much dialogue (or other words even).

Basquiat is my all time favourite of everything. And im fucking loving these art master books (this is the second one I've read). I love an artist using their own style of art to talk to you about a famous artist and their art. Graphic novel was not long enough, i just wanted it to keep on going foreverrrr

challenging dark emotional funny mysterious reflective tense fast-paced

It was fine. I feel like it didn't cover a lot of things about Basquiat, again labeling him a suffering artist and nothing more. It was slightly disappointing honestly. But the art was nice, I enjoyed it, just wish there was more integrity.

Beautiful art, but I didn't get much from the story. It's worth having a base knowledge of Basquiat's biography as well as 1980s culture to really get all that this book has to offer. Pretty shocking depictions of drug use too.
