Tamra Davis’ resplendent new documentary about Jean-Michel Basquiat

A powerful and enchanting look at the genius enfant terrible of the 1980s art world.  Highly recommended!

This is a song for the genius child.
Sing it softly, for the song is wild.
Sing it softly as ever you can —
Lest the song get out of hand.

Nobody loves a genius child.

Can you love an eagle,
Tame or wild?

Wild or tame,
Can you love a monster
Of frightening name?

Nobody loves a genius child.

Kill him – and let his soul run wild

- Langston Hughes
