Meaning & Analysis

Basquiat’s Da Vinci exemplifies his unique Neo-Expressionist approach. Created in 1983, this artwork features intricate lines and anatomical motifs, heavily influenced by Leonardo da Vinci’s studies of human anatomy. The warm cream Japan paper serves as a tactile backdrop, allowing the vibrant, expressive strokes to emerge with a sense of immediacy. Central to the composition are skeletal and muscular forms, rendered with a sense of urgency and dynamism that captures Basquiat's fascination with the human body. The piece reflects a dialogue between past and present, mirroring themes present in Basquiat's broader body of work while also highlighting his innovative commentary on urban culture.

  • 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.
