About Herschel Basquiat Mac Jacket – “Now’s The Time” – Ash Rose – Men

This Herschel Basquiat Mac Jacket celebrates the enigmatic New York City artist’s expressive work. A contemporary interpretation of a timeless style, the Basquiat Men’s Mac coat blends practical utility with a comfortable fabric blend. This elongated silhouette features Basquiat’s iconic “Now’s The Time” vinyl record painting from 1985.. “Now’s the Time” derives its title from the inscription on one of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s boldest paintings, a large, roughly cut plywood disk, depicting a 45 of Charlie Parker’s eponymous bebop composition. This collaborative jacket displays Jean-Michel Basquiat’s signature style . 1980s art icon and native New Yorker Jean-Michel Basquiat was hailed for works that draw on a multivalent range of sources, from Greek, Roman, and African art to jazz, pop culture and his artistic contemporaries. Before he rose to art stardom, however, his work was already legendary on the streets of downtown NYC. Under the tag SAMO©, Basquiat’s fragmented poetry and poignant symbols established a visual vocabulary that continues to inspire a new generation of graffiti artists today.
