Film: Downtown 81- Starring Jean Michel Basquiat

By Jean Michel Basquiat

Jean Michel Basquiat is one of my favorite painters and the newest source of inspiration for Unwritten Prophecy Clothing. His ability to take current and political ideas and infuse them into neo-expressionism, make his art infamous, with the likes of Andy Warhol, who was also a good friend, collaborator and mentor of his. Jean's movie, Downtown 81, shows the story of his life, living as a starving artist during the late 70's and early 80's. The movie itself is shot in avante-garde and it's narrated by Jean Michel. He inspires me so much! I only wish he were still alive, today.
