Basquiat at MOCA

I saw the Jean-Michel Basquiat show at MOCA today. I was particularly taken with the above triptych from 1982, titled "Six Crimee." It's not obvious in this image, but some of those line squiggles were made with fingerpainting to expose the painting underneath. It looks really cool when you see it in person.

This is an inspiring show. There's so much energy and freedom in his work, and it makes me feel like I want to work more loosely.
