Preview: Jean-Michel

38 years on from his death, Basquiat's stylistic legacy has never been so visible: his street art-inspired work spans watches and T-shirts to the world's most prestigious museums. In Jean-Michel, directors Quinn Whitney Wilson and Viridiana Lieberman highlight the person behind the paintings, providing an unparalleled glimpse into Basquiat's private life – through the eyes of his sisters, Lisane and Jeanine Basquiat.

Both the first estate-approved Basquiat documentary and the first directed by a person of colour, Jean-Michel also features interviews with former friends and colleagues. They trace Basquiat's life, thoughts, and emotions from growing up in Brooklyn as the child of middle-class Haitian and Puerto Rican parents, to his experiences in the punk subculture and his breakout as a major American artist.
