#finishedbooks Jean Michel Basquiat: The Notebooks by various. Stumbled on this at my favorite used book store in Mitaka really having no idea this existed. From 1980-87 Basquiat routinely filled these old composition notebooks with sketches and various texts. Some sold during his lifetime and some sadly were price gauged there after his death. In this particular set, there are a few actual composition books that were directly purchased by a friend and just recently compiled and released as the book here. Which when talking about Basquiat it is the legacy of the work. Aside from the seemingly simple trappings of what critics loved to call his primitivity and street art leanings either of which the majority latched on to, for me it was deep preoccupation with African American culture and life intertwined and related through art history that at the time was entirely and completely original in its aesthetics. It is precisely these layers of meaning that separate his work from the seemingly endless parade of hip-hop re-imagined with pop culture references that make up so much of the popular/street art today. Sometimes visiting these shows, one could imagine bringing a bingo card with a hip-hop square in the middle as the free space surrounded by everything from Marvel and Star Wars to The Simpsons and anime. The problem then becomes, aside from the lazy cultural appropriation or rather misappropriation, that the reference never goes beyond a surface layer and comes off tailored for a culture of materialistic hype. The art becomes a slave to the “culture” instead of commenting on it. One can easily see it in the Basquiat Bearbrick next to the Supreme skateboard and Banksy coffee table book at a lot of apartments of this sensibility. Charlie Parker, Black Jack Johnson, and Hank Aaron that he was self relating to get completely lost...and he knew it. It was that surface layer sensibility and racism of the art world that literally killed him. The composition notebooks then for me showed some earlier ideas that were still devoid of the disillusionment with it all that came later.
