Jean-Michel Basquiat has turned into the most mythologized and romanticized figure in Contemporary Art. With a troublesome childhood and forced to leave his house for good, he turned to selling postcards, paraphernalia and T-shirts for money. His first artistic acknowledgment, however, was during The Times Square Show in 1980 and acquired more and more recognition after that. His graffiti tag dispersed as he began to sustain a worldwide standing and was the subject of an article named “The Radiant Child”.
The reason behind graffiti tags is something only the artist will understand. Some tags convey a special meaning about something, a place or an idea. Other graffiti artists spray paint tags just for fun and usually a representation for a gang. I picked this tag because it was a mystery to me and Jean-Michel Basquiat has paintings that are mysteries to his audience that only he knows the representation for what it really is.
Quote 1: “The art of any culture will show a wide differential of talent”
Graffiti is viewed as defacing on private or public property leaving behind tags or pictures without consent. If graffiti is done in a non abusive or vandalized way, then it can have an impactful representation. This effect might be inspirational and make a voice for the craftsman as well as for other people, who feel the same way. While many might guarantee words don't influence them, I don't trust this to be conceivable. Words, images and expressions are our fundamental type of correspondence, and each lastingly affects us.
Quote 2: “A patron cannot be surrounded by music or poems in the same way as he is surrounded by his pictures”
Disregarding the societal impression of graffiti, these pictures and words have an extraordinary worldwide presence. Today, you don't need to enter an art museum to see art. Artists use these tags just like dancers dance to express themselves.
