Skull

Jean-Michel Basquiat's 1981 artwork titled Skull exemplifies his signature Neo-expressionism style, blending raw and expressive elements. Created using canvas, the piece is predominantly rendered with acrylic and crayon, emphasizing bold, spontaneous strokes. The figurative depiction of a skull symbolizes mortality and human vulnerability, central themes in Basquiat’s work. This powerful piece underscores his ability to fuse street art with fine art techniques, making it one of the most celebrated works in contemporary art.
