About the artwork:
Jean-Michel Basquiat, In Italian, 1983
In Italian serves as a rich tapestry of Jean-Michel Basquiat's inspirations, interweaving elements of history, classical art, and his Afro-Caribbean heritage with the rawness of street culture. This piece is a visual lexicon, from the emblematic profile of George Washington to the poignant "Crown of Thorns," each symbol a testament to Basquiat's narrative prowess and his profound commentary on identity and power structures.
The artwork features Basquiat’s iconic three-pointed crown, symbolizing both the artist's aspirations and his homage to the majesty of Black figures throughout history.
