Basquiat by Himself - autor neuvedený

Jean-Michel Basquiat's self-portraits are regarded as being among the most important of his radical creative works. In addition to some 50 specific portraits of himself, we can also see his series of likenesses of African-American men as concealed reproductions of the artist. Not least because Basquiat, who was affected himself by everyday racism, identified with his heroes, saints and martyrs as he portrayed them.Thus his major topics from identity, discrimination and prejudice to capitalism, the market and oppression are all to be found in these key works.
