Jean Michel Basquiat ( 1960 - 1988 ) was born to two Haitian immigrants in Brooklyn New York in 1960. His early career was as the street graffiti artist nick named " Samo " in the late 1970's on New York City's Lower East Side. BY the early 1980's with the help of his friend Andy Warhol, Basquiat began to make his emotionally charged aesthetically arresting Neo Expressionist paintings. In 1992 The Whitney Museum of Art held a major retrospective exhibition of the life works of this great American Contemporary artist and master of social commentary.

His work focused on suggestive dichotomies such as wealth vs poverty, integration vs segregation, and inner vs outer experience of the human condition. Basquiat's works had strong social commentary and deeper truths about the individual and power structures of racism, and criticism of colonialism and support for class struggles.
