Negative Positive
Title: Surprisingly interested and amazed.
Review: I had never heard of basquait before I admit (before reading this book). After I finished reading I found myself becoming a raving fan of his "art". I use the commas because to me he lacks the art aspect and his art is purchased because of the man behind the paintings(Which I learned from Phoebe's book). He is more of a pioneer of street art, having made it so much more commercially available to the public; but he is the street in essence. Phoebe painstakingly researched Basquait through real life relatives and close friends, it almost felt as if she was becoming obsessed with him herself; perhaps that is merely me noticing the devotion to the writing material...If you are a fan of art and expressionism you will find a kindred spirit in Basquait. Pheobe managed to bring that feeling of connection through her book unlike any other biography that I have read.
Is the review positive or negative?
