Basquiat Wall Art
Painted in 1981 this artwork is a sharp critique on members of Basquiat's own race. By depicting a Negro policeman, he is making a conscious effort to show how African-Americans are controlled by the white majority in America. Basquiat found it utterly ironic that any African-American would be a policeman, working to enforce rules that were meant to enslave themselves.
A great image for framing behind glass, or block mounting on canvas to create a focal point and conversation piece in any art lover's home.
