Basquiat's Opus Soup

Amidst the throngs of enthusiastic patrons to the recently concluded Jean-Michel Basquiat Retrospective at Brooklyn's Museum of Art, I overheard the following reaction to the artist's work:

"This guy was doing some serious voodooing."

Succeeded by the further explanation:

"It's like Creole - he throws everything together in a pot and it comes out just right."

Basquiat's retrospective now travels to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and then to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. For some digital gumbo check out Street to Studio - the exhibit's companion website offering a raft of compelling images and info.

A day in the life of Stephen Daedalus and Molly and Leopold Bloom moves into its second century. The eternal present, indeed ... and in word! Happy Bloomsday.
