Jean-Michel Basquiat: Words Are All We Have

"A poet, a scribbler, a scrawler was he. A salvager of verbal resources and an intertextual sorcerer. A bruja, a badass witchy-man wiith crayon-stick and xerox machines with had his tricks and poultices, his incantations and his shrines, his potions, haints and elixirs, his free-verse block printing and his mojo handwriting on the walls." Moses and the Egyptians (1982) and this excerpt from Greg Tate's essay are reproduced from Jean-Michel Basquiat: Words Are All We Have, a Black History Month staff favorite featuring numerous papers of different sizes, rich texts, a gorgeous plate section, a wealth of documentary photographs and portraits, details of the paintings themselves, and more.
