Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child
(Tamra Davis, USA, 2009, DigiBeta, 88 min)
Jean-Michel Basquiat was a burst of colour on the international art scene and a walking personal tragedy who also happened to be a good friend of American filmmaker Tamra Davis. Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child is about the artist and phenomenon who became notorious for his graffiti art under the moniker Samo in the late 1970s on the Lower East Side scene. He sold his first painting to Deborah Harry for $200, and became best friends with Andy Warhol. Appreciated by both the art cognoscenti and the public, Basquiat was launched into international stardom. Soon, however, his cult status began to override the art that had made him famous in the first place.
