"Basquiat" the story of an Artist. This is a pretty terrific look at the genius of Jean Michel Basquiat. A great cast compliments the terrific story of Basquiat, played by Jeffrey Wright. In this scene, Basquiat encounters Andy Warhol, played by David Bowie, and approaches him to sell his "Ignorant Art". Warhol is impressed but will only pay $5 per card, and makes his friend Bruno (Dennis Hopper) actually pay for them. The quirkiness of Bowie fits Warhol well. This is an interesting scene from an interesting movie following a very troubled man who died far too young. This scene was inspired by the fact that the great Jeffrey Wright has been cast as a character in "Boardwalk Empire." Enjoy!
