While we #MuseumFromHome, let& #39;s take a section-by-section virtual peek at "Writing the Future: #Basquiat & the #HipHopGeneration" https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧐" title="Face with monocle" aria-label="Emoji: Face with monocle"> The exhibition brings together works by the artist & 11 of his peers, who were among the prophetic founders of the insurgent post-graffiti moment.
First, check out excerpts from the 1983 documentary #StyleWars, which captures a golden age of youthful creativity in 1980s New York City and sets the stage for the exhibition: https://bit.ly/2wcNaIP

The exhibition& #39;s introductory section hones in on the transitional moment when #Basquiat & his peers began to forge a place for themselves in the commercial art world. They experimented with applying train & street writing styles to any surface they could find. #HipHopGeneration
"Community Portraiture" brings together #Basquiat& #39;s depictions of his peers—the first time that his portraits of his Black and Latinx friends and fellow artists have been given prominence in scholarship on his oeuvre. #HipHopGeneration
"Writers" emphasizes how each artist developed a unique vocabulary from a boundless array of sources—from comic books, cartoons and cityscapes, to ancient, medieval, modern and pop art. #HipHopGeneration

"Futurisms" explores in-depth the artistic practice of #Rammellzee (stylized RAMMΣLLZΣΣ), the first major critical theorist of hip-hop. The section also features works by his Tag Master Killers crew (A-One, Kool Koor & Toxic). #HipHopGeneration
"Bodies" explores how the subject of the human body provided a platform for #Basquiat and #LadyPink to explore issues of resounding social and political import. Pink& #39;s paintings of skulls & flowers allude to cycles of life & death. #HipHopGeneration
The final gallery, "Ascension," highlights the artists& #39; respective approaches to questions of legacy and the afterlife via motifs associated with Afrofuturism. #HipHopGeneration
