Summary:
Extrait du recueil « And Still I rise » paru en 1978, le poème « La vie, même pas peur ! » de Maya Angelou est un hymne à la force et à la résilience face aux craintes que la vie peut inspirer. La poétesse nous invite à affronter crânement nos peurs les plus profondes (des chiens méchants, des fantômes dans les nuages, des lions en liberté, des inconnus tapis dans l’ombre...) et nous rend ainsi le pouvoir d’agir. Les peintures de Basquiat rendent, elles, compte des émotions puissantes et de l’imaginaire inépuisable de l’enfance.

Summary:
One of the most important artists of the late twentieth century, Jean-Michel Basquiat explored the interplay of words and images throughout his career as a celebrated painter with an instantly recognizable style. In his paintings, notebooks, and interviews, he showed himself to be a powerful and creative writer and speaker as well as image-maker. ''Basquiat-isms'' is a collection of essential quotations from this godfather of urban culture. In these brief, compelling, and memorable selections, taken from his interviews as well as his visual and written works, Basquiat writes and speaks about culture, his artistic persona, the art world, artistic influence, race, urban life, and many other subjects. Concise, direct, forceful, poetic, and enigmatic, Basquiat’s words, like his art, continue to resonate.
