Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child (2010)
Director Tamra Davis pays homage to her friend in this definitive documentary but also delves into Basquiat as an iconoclast. His dense, bebop-influenced neoexpressionist work emerged while minimalist, conceptual art was the fad; as a successful black artist, he was constantly confronted by racism and misconceptions. Much can be gleaned from insider interviews and archival footage, but it is Basquiat's own words and work that powerfully convey the mystique and allure of both the artist and the man.Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child featuring Jean-Michel Basquiat and Julian Schnabel is streaming on Curiosity Stream, streaming with subscription on MUBI, available for rent or purchase on Prime Video, and 1 other.
