OUR FAVORITE JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT QUOTES
The Brooklyn-born artist who revolutionized the art world in the ‘80s, Jean-Michel Basquiat not only continues to inspire us today through his artwork, but also through his words. Here are some of our favorite quotes from the iconic artist.
- “At that point, [an artist] was somebody who could draw, but my ideas have changed since then. Now I see an artist as something a lot broader than that.”
- “I don't think about art when I'm working. I try to think about life.”
- “I like kids' work more than work by real artists any day.”
- “The more I paint, the more I like everything.”
From his early work on the streets of New York to his prolific collaboration with fellow artist, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s authenticity was, and is, a fascinating tenet of his work. Proof of that is that we’re still in awe of his creations decades later and, no doubt, will be for decades to come.
Thanks socks much for reading!
