Om verket
Though Jean-Michel Basquiat famously referenced his childhood copy of Gray’s Anatomy in many images during his brief career, this early sheet instead portrays the decidedly nonhuman body of a late twentieth-century mechanomorph. The cyborg’s amalgamated figure—with green toga, protective helmet, and gesticulating arms—speaks to the artist’s own mixed cultural heritage: Basquiat grew up in Brooklyn, the son of a French-speaking Haitian father and a Spanish-speaking Puerto Rican mother. The artist’s choice of thick, oil-based crayons enhances the awkward, yet self-conscious, graffiti-based style of this bravura drawing.
