In the late ’70s, Jean-Michel Basquiat was known in the New York underground scene for the graffiti he created under the pseudonym ofSAMO©. But shortly after his participation in a group show in 1980, everything changed. RenĂ© Ricard published an article about him entitled The Radiant Child in Artforum and he then quickly rose to international stardom. Sadly, he just as quickly lost his life.
