Jean Michel Basquiat Lithograph from 1981 after Basquiat
Jean Michel Basquiat lithograph. Custom framed. Approx 22x20 inches. Includes Letter of Authenticity. Jean-Michel Basquiat was born in 1960 and died in 1988 and was an American artist, musician, and producer. His work often dealt with class struggle.
Condition: This is in excellent condition. Jean-Michel Basquiat was born in 1960 and died in 1988 and was an American artist, musician, and producer. He first achieved notoriety as part of SAMO, an informal graffiti group who wrote enigmatic epigrams in the cultural hotbed of the Lower East Side of Manhattan during the late 1970s where the hip hop, post-punk and street art movements had coalesced. By the 1980s he was exhibiting his neo-expressionist and primitivist paintings in galleries and museums internationally. The Whitney Museum of American Art held a retrospective of his art in 1992.
Basquiat used social commentary in his paintings as a springboard to deeper truths about the individual, as well as attacks on power structures and systems of racism, while his poetics were acutely political and direct in their criticism of colonialism and support for class struggle.
