JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT: THE HEAD - THE MIND
$55
An oversize, faux leather bound volume presenting a focused selection of Basquiat's energized depictions of heads and faces. Among the most recognizable motifs of Jean-Michel Basquiat's oeuvre is the human head. Whether colorful, bald, crowned, or simply disquieting, his expressive approach evokes the skeletal aspects of these faces, reminding us of the skull beneath the skin: a memento mori for the modern age. Exploring the artist's fascination with the head as a vessel of identity, emotion and intellect, expressed through raw, gestural lines that capture the tension between inner thought and outward expression.
