Meaning & Analysis

Skulls took a particularly prominent place in the artist’s work in the years preceding his death, as seen in works such as Riding With Death, which depicts a faceless figure atop a skeletal body. It would be wrong, however, to view depictions of skulls narrowly from the viewpoint of the artist’s death. As Leonard Emmerling notes, “Speculations about premonitions of death in his final paintings neatly ignore that death played a dominant role in Basquiat’s paintings and drawings from the very beginning of his career. His countless skeletons and skulls can hardly be passed off as formal citations of anatomy books… Basquiat’s countless depictions of skeletonized or transparent x-rayed bodies show that his own physicality and mortality were central issues of his work.”

  • 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.
