Jean Michel Basquiat… nació en 1960 y este artista norteamericano, neo impresionista, conquistó la fama durante la década de los 80 en Nueva York. Comenzó de grafitero junto a un colega, Al Diaz, formando el duo SAMO, (en inglés se pronuncia «same-oh», que más o menos significa «la misma cosa»). garabateaban y marcaban paredes con epigramas y luego firmaban SAMO.
Basquiat murió a la edad de 27 años de una sobredosis de heroína…

Really digging the music Francis. I really like his work. For someone so young imagine how good he might have been if he were still studying. ❤️🦋 Thanks for the education. ❤️
