Vincent Van 3D Punk #69

This work is from a Jean-Michel "Untitled" artwork of a man fishing. Jean-Michel Basquiat painted Untitled in 1981, a pivotal year when he transitioned from a street artist into the adulation of the New York art scene. He worked in the basement of Annina Nosei's gallery in SoHo where Untitled was executed. The artwork depicts a fisherman wearing a crown of thorns and a halo of the same nature. He is standing at the center of the canvas proudly displays his catch, a large fish hanging at the end of a fishing rod. His black body reveals a white skeletal figure.
