Meaning & Analysis

The lines used to indicate different bones, whilst emblematic of the drawings’ diagrammatic quality, echoes the extensive use of arrows and abstract lines in the artist’s body of work, such as in Ascent.

Even though Basquiat labels each body part which he draws in this x-ray-like image, there are traces of omissions and erroneous strokes, with an ‘a’ being omitted from ‘phalanges’ and an errant line beside the ‘radius’ annotation. This is the merest suggestion of the lexical experimentation and textual rupture which features heavily in Basquiat’s canvases.
