Description

Featured prominently across the center front of this washed black T-shirt is Basquiat's captivating artwork, "Now's the Time." This bold and striking piece, originally created on plywood in 1985, serves as a homage to Basquiat's idol, Charlie Parker, and his iconic Bebop work bearing the same title.

It is worth noting that Basquiat's passion for music is evident in his extensive record collection, which reportedly consisted of around 3,000 LPs. Jazz and Bebop, in particular, held a significant influence over the artist's creative process and artistic vision.

By wearing this T-shirt, you not only showcase Basquiat's powerful and expressive artwork but also pay tribute to his deep appreciation for music and the profound impact it had on his life and artistic journey. It is a testament to the artist's ability to merge different forms of artistic expression and create visually captivating pieces that resonate with both art enthusiasts and music lovers alike.

The Artist

Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the best known artists of his generation and is widely considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His career in art spanned the late 1970s through the 1980s until his death in 1988, at the age of 27. Basquiat works are edgy and raw, and through a bold sense of color and composition, he maintains a fine balance between seemingly contradictory forces such as control and spontaneity, menace and wit, urban imagery and primitivism. The Basquiat brand embodies the values and aspirations of young, international urban culture.
The conjunction of various media is an integral element of Basquiat's art. His paintings are typically covered with text and codes of all kinds: words, letters, numerals, pictograms, logos, map symbols, diagrams and more, and featured multi-panel paintings and individual canvases with exposed stretcher bars, the surface dense with writing, collage and imagery.
