Meaning & Analysis

The different pace of life in Los Angeles offered fresh perspectives and a re-invigorated approach. Fred Hoffman writes: “Although this served his incredible capacity to process the world around him, it did not serve his stability or physical well being. In the removed environment of Venice, he seemed to find a security and solitude. Away from New York, this emergent talent was able to get on with his mission with significantly less distraction.”

In this print, we see Basquiat depicted together with close friends Toxic and Ramellzee. The image, with its exaggerated stereotypes of Blackness, point to the restrictive and demeaning depictions of people of colour in the history of American film.

  • Jean-Michel Basquiat's unique visual style has dominated the Urban Art scene, securing his status as one of the most successful African-American street artists of the 20th Century. Addressing themes of race, identity and culture within his expressive works, his distinctive painterly style and use of child-like iconography changed the course of art history forever. Artworks such as Undiscovered Genius place controversial subjects at the forefront of his narrative. Despite his tragically premature death at the age of 27, Basquiat's impact on the art scene is exemplified through the increase of his market value in the years since.
