SAMO's Inspiration
Jean-Michel Basquiat was part of a wave of new artists in the emerging neo-expressionist movement of the 1980s.
Basquiat drew from his experiences growing up in New York City. His mother strongly encouraged him to develop his
artistic skills. He attracted attention in the 1970s with his graffiti art under the name "SAMO." Basquiat would later
collaborate with Andy Warhol and exhibit his work in Europe and Africa.
