Introducing a medium weight fleece hoodie that showcases Basquiat's iconic artwork "Now's the Time" printed across the center front of the black hoodie. This eye-catching piece also includes a convenient kangaroo pocket at the front.
Let's delve into the significance of the artwork: "Now's the Time," created in 1985, is a bold and large work on plywood that pays homage to Basquiat's idol, Charlie Parker, and his Bebop music. The title itself is a reference to one of Parker's compositions. Basquiat's deep passion for jazz and Bebop is evident in his extensive record collection, which reportedly consisted of around 3,000 LPs. The influence of this musical genre on the artist is profound and can be seen in the energy and rhythm of his artwork.
By wearing this hoodie, you not only embrace the comfort and style of a well-crafted garment but also carry a piece of Basquiat's artistic brilliance with you. The prominent display of "Now's the Time" on the front, combined with the practical kangaroo pocket, creates a unique and captivating aesthetic. It's a fashionable statement that celebrates Basquiat's love for jazz and allows you to express your appreciation for his art in a truly stylish manner.
