"Message to the Messengers"
A powerful message from a powerful voice.

"I am not a black artist, I am an artist."

The Radiant Child

"I start a picture and I finish it.

I don't think about art while I work.

I try to think about life."

"I don't listen to what art critics say.
I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is."
- Jean-Michel Basquiat
