«Early Moses» Jean-Michel Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat (b. 1960 – d. 1988, New York) is widely considered one of the most important artists of the late-twentieth century and is best known for exploring themes of Black identity in America, colonization, and consumerism in his Neo-Expressionist paintings. As a young adult, Basquiat experimented with street art and became well known by the moniker SAMO in the downtown New York art scene.
