"50 cent Piece" by Jean-Michel Basquiat (1983) exemplifies his distinctive approach within Neo-expressionism. As a pioneering artist known for his raw, energetic style, Basquiat often employed a mixed-media technique combining Acrylic, Pastel, Crayon, Charcoal, and Pencil on canvas, creating textured and layered surfaces. His Figurative imagery is often juxtaposed with abstract gestures. The title references a coin, hinting at themes of value and currency, while the work’s dynamic composition underscores Basquiat’s signature intensity and raw aesthetic.
