Meaning & Analysis
Anatomy, Ramus Of Mandible, created by Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1982, is a screenprint from his inaugural Anatomy series. This artwork, part of an edition of 18, explores Basquiat's fascination with the human body. It captures anatomical elements in his distinctive style, contributing to his broader exploration of identity and mortality.
Featuring a simplified depiction of a skull, this screenprint is annotated with anatomical terms, set against a stark black background. This visual language, reminiscent of medical diagrams, underscores Basquiat’s childhood intrigue with Gray's Anatomy, which profoundly influenced his work. The use of white lines against a dark backdrop highlights the skeletal structure, creating a haunting yet educational effect. Basquiat’s choice of medium and subject matter reflects his interest in the intersection of art and science, a theme prevalent throughout his career.
