Inspired in part by Surrealist automatism, the CoBrA artists made exuberant, interdisciplinary pieces. They did not turn to museums or galleries for inspiration; rather, they looked to ancient Nordic myths, children’s drawings and primitivism — all of which came together in what became known as the ‘language of CoBrA’. For Basquiat and his colleagues, these sources brought a profound and refreshing sense of renewal. Jean-Michel Basquiat was an American artist of Haitian and Puerto Rican descent. Basquiat first achieved fame as part of SAMO, an informal graffiti duo who wrote enigmatic epigrams in the cultural hotbed .
