Inspirational documentary of Basquiat

The film called Radient Child by Tamra Davis is an inspiring documentary of Jean-Michel Basquiat, with actual footage from an exciting period of the NYC art scene. The movie begins with rare footage of a friend interviewing Basquiat just two years before he died. http://youtu.be/wuZZ3gY2_9I

The film is worth a watch particularly because of the way it provides a glimpse into the artistic process, even if you don't care for Basquiat's urban, expressive, bold style. Basquiat is an excellent artist to look at for ideas on how to naturally inform your artwork through your own interests (to fulfill the historical/cultural assessment criteria).
