I admit i have changed my opinions on Basquiat :

[KingsOfKings]

Jean-Michel Basquiat's sisters talk brother's new exhibit, struggles with fame and fraught friendship with Warhol: 'The world wasn't ready for a Black man with dreadlocks who had his kind of talent'

“Instead of people focusing on his work, they were very focused on things like his hair … While he was navigating his career, he was also navigating the perceptions that people had about him.”

Looks like total garbage to me.

And I was an art minor and artist myself so I understand design principles, abstract, and non representational art.

Mediocre at best but it was “different”

 

[Da King]

“Art”

For those in the know

What do y'all think of Basquiat potnah pierre bernard francillon? He has a similar style from what I've seen and he's been mentioned by Mach-Hommy (props to @TheDarceKnight @Piff Perkins @IronFist for putting me on in the booth)

I used to be confused by it myself but the examples in the OP are deceptively detailed. It LOOKS like a kid could do it but in actuality

If white artists can be abstract, so can black ones.

Isn't this whole "Abstract art" thing just a front for money laundering anyways?

What's up with that? Takes all the love out the art for me.

All high art is, it's some corny bullshyt with pretentious motherfukkers pretending there's some elusive meaning that some junkie conjured up that somehow evades everyone else.
