Meaning & Analysis
Da Vinci (complete set) is a screenprint triptych by Jean-Michel Basquiat, created in 1983. This artwork combines abstract and anatomical elements, showcasing Basquiat's intrigue with Renaissance art and the human form. As part of his acclaimed Neo-Expressionist style, this set illustrates his distinctive ability to weave historical influences into contemporary narratives.
Basquiat’s Da Vinci exemplifies his unique Neo-Expressionist approach. Created in 1983, this artwork features intricate lines and anatomical motifs, heavily influenced by Leonardo da Vinci’s studies of human anatomy. The warm cream Japan paper serves as a tactile backdrop, allowing the vibrant, expressive strokes to emerge with a sense of immediacy. Central to the composition are skeletal and muscular forms, rendered with a sense of urgency and dynamism that captures Basquiat's fascination with the human body. The piece reflects a dialogue between past and present, mirroring themes present in Basquiat's broader body of work while also highlighting his innovative commentary on urban culture.
