Description
Introducing our premium medium weight long sleeve shirt, featuring the captivating all-over print of Jean-Michel Basquiat's iconic artwork, "Hollywood Africans."
This extraordinary piece was crafted by Basquiat during his visit to Los Angeles, specifically for his solo exhibition. "Hollywood Africans" showcases not only a remarkable self-portrait of Basquiat himself but also striking portraits of his companions, the talented artists Rammellzee and Toxic, who accompanied him on this journey. Basquiat fondly referred to this trio as African "Americans in Hollywood," shedding light on the limited roles and stereotypes faced by Black actors in the film industry.
With this shirt, you can proudly wear a piece of art history while honoring Basquiat's exploration of identity, representation, and the challenges faced by Black artists in Hollywood.
