A poet, musician, and graffiti prodigy in late-1970s New York, Jean-Michel Basquiat had honed his signature painting style of obsessive scribbling, elusive symbols and diagrams, and mask-and-skull imagery by the time he was 20. “I don’t think about art while I work,” he once said. “I think about life.” Basquiat drew his subjects from his own Caribbean heritage—his father was Haitian and his mother of Puerto Rican descent—and a convergence of African-American, African, and Aztec cultural histories with Classical themes and contemporary heroes like athletes and musicians. A drawing of a man with the $ symbols on his top hat breathing fire. Depicting the evils of money. Additionally signed by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Mounted and framed. Size: 11.75x8.75 inches. Supplied with coa.
