Despite his early death, Basquiat's powerful oeuvre has ensured his continuing reputation as one of modern art's most distinctive voices. Borrowing from graffiti and street imagery, cartoons, mythology and religious symbolism, Basquiat's drawings and paintings explore issues of race and identity, providing social commentary that is shrewdly observed and biting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis bestselling book, now available in a compact edition, celebrates Basquiat's achievements in the contexts of the key influences on his art.
