Meaning & Analysis

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.

  • 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.
