Dog

"Dog" is a striking painting by American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat created in 1982, exemplifying his distinctive style within the Neo-expressionism movement. The work features a Figurative depiction of a boy and a dog, rendered with bold lines and raw energy that characterize Basquiat’s expressive approach. This piece showcases his ability to blend social commentary with spontaneous brushwork, capturing complex themes through a seemingly simple scene. It is notably one of the most expensive paintings ever sold, fetching over $100 million in 2020, second only to Untitled (1982), which sold for $110.5 million.
