African American artists have helped shape the visual culture of the United States by working outside of the convention of their respective fields while defying discrimination and professional stereotypes. Often channeling their familial backgrounds and personal experiences in their work, these creative figures have influenced and inspired much of American art's evolution. Collectively, their bodies of work should not only be seen as a narrative of the African American experience of their time, but also a powerful expression of cultural protest.
Unfortunately, throughout history-both in the United States and beyond-artists of color have not aptly been recognized for their talents, achievements, and contributions. However, contemporary audiences are becoming increasingly interested in diversity in the arts, prompting museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions to shine an overdue spotlight on the work of African American artists.

I'm a UK based Art teacher and showed this to all my classes during black history month. They have loved it but all spotted that Basquiat's date of birth was wrong because they saw in a text book that he died at age 27 and it makes him look just 20 in what you have said. Asides that you have offered inspiration to my students which is essential.

@ikamille 2 жыл бұрын

He did die at 27. Started very young, the last years of his life was not exclusive to his work. He was just 20 in some of these images. I'm curious to what was the disconnect with full detail of Basquiat. What was missed in this video.

@jldavis07 Жыл бұрын

@@ikamille She was saying that the birth year to year of death found at the bottom of his section, starting at 3:20, is listed as 1968-1988 and it should have been 1960-1988. She was just trying to give the creator a heads up that they may have made a typo while also complimenting the overall video.

With regards to Jean-Michel Basquiat: He wasn't merely a black artist, he was an Afro-hatian-latino/Hatian-latino/Afro-latino artist. His Father was from Haiti and his Mother was Puerto Rican, born to Puerto Rican parents in Brooklyn, NYC. So she was on effect, a New York Rican. Jean-Michele spoke Spanish at home and also incorporated Spanish words in his art works. By conveniently erasing his Puerto Rican heritage and claiming him as merely black, you nullify the totality of Basquiat's being and impact as both a person and an artist! He wouldn't be who he was and created the art that he did w/o both sides of his Ethnic heritage. Please STOP conveniently appropriating him as just a black artist and recognize the added factor of his having been Afro-hispanic! It's insultive and hurtful to erase the Spanish side of his ethnicity. He wouldn't have been the incredible artist that he was without his Spanish side as well. Don't white wash his legacy to conviniently fit a black narrative. You can't erase his Puerto Rican/Latino side no matter how hard you may try!

E. Simms Campbell is just another in a long, long, long line of talented Black men willing to degrade the whole race for personal success and fortune. I hope and pray he gets healed.
