about innovation - yes, the work of Basquiat is not something that is unique, but not all the same to be innovators.
I personally like it when art - it is "raw". I saw many pictures Basquiat live, and they produce a very strong impression.
Another point that must not be forgotten - that in the works of Basquiat reflected the aspirations of many African Americans. despite the notorious "political correctness" in America is thriving latent racism. that is a big problem.
I have seen many pictures of Africans (and African-Americans) 30-bit and 40-ies. many of them depicted scenes of oppression of black and white. I think they contributed mightily to the Basques. what's wrong with that, he enjoys the raw visual language of his "people" rather than expressive means adopted by whites? and I would not say that the art of Basquiat is very simple, in fact, it is very inventive. as much about expression and emotion, I am silent.
