yesterday i was able to catch a final showing of the documentary, jean-michel basquiat: the radiant child, at the nuart off santa monica. admittedly, my knowledge of basquiat was average at best prior to the film, but i walked away thoroughly impressed and sad that yet another artistic soul was lost way before his time. a loving tribute indeed and what a body of work in such a short time.
its limited run is now closed for los angeles, but i highly recommend it when it drops on dvd. check out director tamra davis' talk about her baby below.
