Born to a Puerto Rican mother and a Haitian father, Basquiat&#8217;s multicultural upbringing deeply influenced his artistry. Jean-Michel was reportedly highly intelligent, reading and writing at the age of four. He often frequented museums and exhibitions with his mother who wanted to instill a love of art in her son at a tender age. At age seven, he produced his first creative endeavour&#8211;a children&#8217;s book, which his friend illustrated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later, he would attend City-As-School, an alternative institution where creative children took refuge from an educational system they found to be challenging. He received encouragement from his teachers based on his talent and despite lacking formal training, he immersed himself in the world of art, teaching himself the techniques that would later define his distinctive style.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basquiat first gained recognition as part of the graffiti duo SAMO, which left its mark on the streets of New York City with its enigmatic messages and striking imagery. His early works were a fusion of words, stick figures, and animals, reflecting his raw talent and innate creativity. As an artist, he highlighted contrast, both mediumistic and conceptual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite initial struggles, Basquiat&#8217;s breakthrough came when he sold a painting for $50,000, signaling the beginning of his meteoric rise in the art world. A notable achievement was becoming the youngest artist ever to showcase about 60 pieces of work at the Kestner-Gesellschaft gallery in Hanover Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tragically, Basquiat&#8217;s life was cut short when he passed away in 1988 at the age of 27. However, his legacy endures, with his artworks fetching record-breaking prices, including one that sold for $110.5 million posthumously, making him the highest-priced American artist in history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basquiat&#8217;s impact as an artist transcends his brief time on Earth, as he continues to inspire future generations with his profound artistic vision and instantly recognizable persona.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As we head into the last week of Black History Month, DNO will feature one of our global Black Heroes from various fields every day for the next seven days, which, hopefully, is educational and evokes pride and inspiration.
