Art- 'Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child '

" 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?

Can you love an eagle,

Wild or Tame?

Can you love a monster

Of frightening name?

Nobody loves a genius child

Kill him_ and let his soul run wild"

Genius Child by Langston Hughes

The documentary "The Radiant Child", released in 2010 is centered on a rare interview that director and friend Tamra Davis shot with Basquiat over twenty years ago. This definitive film chronicles the meteoric rise and fall of the young artist.
