Synopsis
Born in Brooklyn to a Haitian father and Puerto-Rican mother, Jean-Michel Basquiat was deeply interested in Afro-Atlantic culture and he drew upon his heritage in many of his highly acclaimed paintings. This book looks closely --- for the first time --- at Basquiat's southern-themed paintings. The paintings in this book are filled with references to the history and culture of the South, a place the artist visited sparingly. Insightful essays discuss the importance of Basquiat's work in relation to a subject that occupied his attention throughout his career. Published in association with Prospect New Orleans.

"While Basquiat spent little time in the South, [Franklin] Sirmans argues persuasively that his work grappled with 'an overall tradition of synergy in the Afro-Atlantic space.' . . . Robert G. O'Meally offers a fascinating comparative study of Basquiat's work. . . . Robert Farris Thompson's essay . . . combines insightful perspectives on the work with personal memories."
