I wish I knew how to paint as great as an artist. Lord, please bless me with talent like an artist.

Wonderful Homage. I knew him & attended his early openings at Tony’s & Mary’s in SoHo, etc. He knew my large paintings often with jazz figures done very expressionistically in that early period during the mid to late 79’s asJean-Michel used to often graffiti right beside my street level studio gallery at 74 Grand St.in SoHo. I also knew Andy who helped me out several time taking some risks. In 1996 I also did an ambitious & very popular 30 minute cable play with actors ( a black art critic playing Jean-Michel )with wit & intelligence besides an very charismatic. Included are the real Tony, one of best exhibitions at Tony S, Leo Castelli,, Larry Gagosian, Irving Sandler &many street scenes all over SoHo. aa things then were, Of course a Julian Schnabel as my antagonist. There is a plot & it’s these days on Vimeo, Bill Rabinovitch VS Julian Schnabel.

[@Billart]

Yes I have great young Andy & many others like the real art critic Walter Robinson & loved poet Steve Dalachinsky. Surprise ending Warhol being shot.

Oh comon the Ramones were rich kids wearing leather and went to music school. Sex Pistols were the original punk!! Basquiat was a very primitive painter, punk! He painted with a very primitive sence so I wish you would stop trying to make him more acceptable. He should be accepted for his amazing style and that he had a raw way of expressing it, yes almost like a child, and so what that should be acceptable. It was a beautiful thing to see his art and to accept it for exactly what it is. The scribblings of a young highly active mind, a rebel with a cause. The human instinct was very alive in him and his drive for survival in the jungle of man. Andy and Basquiat were both geniuses and had a genuine bond and understood each other. They also both had a great work ethic, when you really have a passion it overtakes you and you can't think of anything else. These guys had that level of devoted respect for art, prolific.

[@chiquitafeldberg8512]

There is still an alternative scene and there are good artists around today also.Its not all the same when you actually get into the world of modern music and art. What Warhol did, or tried to open up the art world to include alternative art, not just institutionalized acceptable art, that hasn't disappeared. His influence and hard work was as infuencial on art as Picasso influence. That's one of the most difficult challenges for any artist. Warhol saw in others what the art world ignored. Some say he just used Basquiat and others but I think he sincerely saw there value and wanted the art world to realise his integrity and genuine intentions to move the art world away from its lofty and often pretentious attitudes. He achieved exactly what he set out to do and I think Warhol was a fkin genius.

I love Warhol"s work, but he did have the reputation of using and abusing ppl, especially fellow artists he didn't like.

[@chiquitafeldberg8512]

The contemporary art world pisses me off that it only celebrates young artists. It's pretentious and obnoxious and this attitude is a loss for the world. It's inhumane, it's soulless it's superficial and these one dimensional perspectives create a fake anti spirituality negative impact. Something the contemporary art world misses completely. In my view as an artist myself I refuse to embrace this mindless pursuit. They acknowledge it but they don't do anything about it. There is an outsiders art movement which is interesting. Basquiat was actually an outsider artist that the contemporary art world has recognized thanks to Andy, it's not what you know but who you know. Anyway basquiat is just the kind of artist you find a lot more in the outsiders art movement. A lot of self taught artists who just have a mad passion and don't care about fitting in or galleries. Some crazy stuff.

[@345mrse]

Warhol's greatest art piece.

[@ericswain4177]

Why ? do the elitists have to reinforce their "Basquiat" questions to keep Jean-Michel Basquiat relevant and value up.

[@ghostmantagshome-er6pb]

Liking his " art" should be an I.Q test.
