An essential addition to anyone's art library. Many good colour reproductions, (and 4 photographs of the artist at the back). I found the text highly opinionated, but occasionally useful, describing the paintings and interpretations of the pictures. There was a bullet point biography at the back of the book, but the text didn't say much about Basquiat himself (I learned more about the artist form the book "Widow Basquiat A Memoir").
Considered one of the twentieth century's greatest protagonists of Italian painting, Mario Schifano produced works that coincided with Pop and monochrome trends, ensuring them a critical reception. Many of Schifano's works combine the impetuosity of the Italian and international Transavanguardia (European neo-expressionism) with a hyper-modern point of view, derived from the speed of technology and mass-media chaos. This monograph features extensive documentation of Schifano's lively, show more colorful paintings, as well as many previously unpublished photographs. show less
