ABOUT THE ART

Jean-Michel Basquiat, Untitled (Head), 1983

Many consider the heads Basquiat painted as some of his most autobiographical works. Deeply rooted in his identity as a Black artist in America, Jean-Michel's use of heads and skulls are evocative of African masks and also allude to his father’s Haitian heritage. 

Untitled (1981)—a large scale painting done in acrylic and oilstick on canvas—is in the Broad collection in Los Angeles. This work is one of several large-scale paintings focused on the human skull by the late artist, whose interest in human anatomy started in childhood and is present throughout his career.
