Writing the Future : Jean-Michel Basquiat and the Hip-Hop Generation

A leader of the underground movement in an 80's New York, Jean-Michel Basquiat is an artist who influences contemporary artistic culture more than ever. His paintings and drawings, true social critics, still resonate through their subjects.

And if they resonate, it's probably because they have infused a society that has taken hold of them. This book is dedicated to Hip-Hop culture and the close ties that Basquiat had in the emergence of this movement.

240 fascinating pages with photos of the master, but also texts to restore this emergence in its time.
