Time Decorated: The Musical Influences of Jean-Michel Basquiat - Part 3

Overview

“Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time.”
—Jean-Michel Basquiat
(December 22, 1960–August 12, 1988)

The third and final segment of the series, delivered by Dr. Todd Boyd, a.k.a. "Notorious Ph.D.," examines the rich cultural era in which Jean-Michel Basquiat emerged and draws a line from bebop to hip hop. Boyd’s keen observations on Basquiat’s subject matter and style reveal how popular American culture, Black culture, sports, cinema, and music intertwine in the artist’s iconic works. Featuring music by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, KRS-One, N.W.A., Public Enemy, and Rammellzee Vs. K-Rob.
