Meaning & Analysis

This screenprint, Anatomy, Female Pelvis, highlights Basquiat’s unique style, characterised by its raw, expressive lines and minimalist palette. Created in 1982, the work forms part of Basquiat’s Anatomy series, which draws inspiration from his childhood interest in Gray’s Anatomy. The image features a skeletal outline of a female pelvis, annotated with text, showcasing Basquiat’s integration of text and image - a signature aspect of his artistic language. With an edition size limited to 18, this piece stands out for its rarity and reflects Basquiat’s early exploration of printmaking techniques. The artwork’s simplicity contrasts with the vibrant chaos often seen in his paintings, yet it maintains the intensity of his commentary on identity and the human condition. Basquiat’s Anatomy series is seen as a precursor to his later works that delve deeper into themes of race, identity, and mortality, cementing his position as a pivotal figure in Neo-Expressionism and contemporary art.
