More, Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys : Giants
This next group of photographs I took are from some pretty well known artists. I personally heard of both the featured artists I will showcase on this installment. I’m not exactly an encyclopedia of art history, but I do know more than some. I suppose this visit I’m highlighting just adds to my knowledge of the art world, and I’d say that’s a good thing. I’m even doing some research on the photographs I’m posting, so even more learning, yay.
Jean-Michel Basquiat was an artist from New York city. Born in Brooklyn. This is only a small taste of his work. Clearly, the subject of this piece is the author Langston Hughes. Two impressive black artists to be sure. Yes, this whole experience has been educational. Too bad, education isn’t cool. I’m pretty sure I heard about Mr. Basquait from Mtv of all places. It used to be relevant, at least to me.
Gordon Parks was an American photographer and composer. He was born in in Fort Scott, Kansas, in 1912. He lived to see 93 years. He was truly a great American photographer and artist. Apparently he did more than photography. I’m so glad I had this opportunity to see some of his work. I feel like I’ve heard of him and seen his work before. Maybe I have. I definitely have now, and I suppose you have too.
