Jean-Michel Basquiat
Jean-Michel Basquiat was an influential American artist known for his raw, expressive style and social commentary on race and identity. Born in Brooklyn in 1960 to a Haitian father and Puerto Rican mother, he rose to fame in the 1980s as a graffiti artist and painter, blending text and imagery to challenge societal norms. His impactful works, often infused with themes of race, class, and history, made him a key figure in the Neo-Expressionism movement. Basquiat's untimely death at the age of 27 in 1988 marked the loss of a significant cultural figure, but his legacy continues to inspire artists and audiences alike. In 2023, he was in the news due to a major exhibition of his works in St. Moritz, celebrating what would have been his 65th birthday.
Born on Aug 22, 1960 (64 years old)
