The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created by Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1978. It belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement and is categorized under the genre of figurative art.
The artwork presents an abstract composition crafted with a combination of precise lines and geometric shapes that intersect and overlap. Soft pencil strokes, likely denoting figures or structures, are counterpointed by more forceful, dark lines and subtle hints of color. The piece embodies Basquiat’s characteristic style, with an enigmatic interplay of form and space that engages viewers in deciphering its meaning. The utilization of both sharp and soft elements reflects a juxtaposition central to Neo-Expressionism, where raw emotional expression is harmonized with figurative abstraction.
