It's a refreshing angle on a story that could easily have veered into myth-making or melodrama....Clement offers far more clues to the cryptic symbols which litter his paintings than any art critic could. * * The Times * * breathlessly recounted * * The Big Issue * *
Reseña del editor:
A tender and moving account of Jean-Michel Basquiat's life as seen through the eyes of his muse and lover, Suzanne. The book describes their often destructive and desperate relationship, which in turn could also be utterly loving, respectful and understanding. It is about their need for each other, for drugs, for comprehension, for recognition and to conquer the demons from their pasts. This is the story of Basquiat's life rarely documented, out of the spotlight, and behind that so very well known eighties art scene. His influence on and from Andy Warhol, Madonna. Keith Haring, Fab 5 Freddie and Debbie Harry, his increasing income and spiralling drug taking.
