Jean Michele Basquiat - December 22, 1960 – August 12, 1988
I think I saw the "pugilist" poster for the Warhol-Basquiat exhibition plastered on a wall when I was was in New York City, back when I was twenty-five and visiting my (now ex) husband's family. Truthfully, I think this may be an appropriated memory. I do know for certain there was a man singing into a Mister Microphone calling souls to "come unto Jessuhs Kaliiist" and another man with his underwear on the outside of his pants.
I will admit that it was the film Basquiat that brought this incredible artist into my awareness.
