Jean-Michel Basquiat’s “Untitled Head” (1982) is a striking example of his ability to convey raw emotion and complex themes through portraiture. This artwork features a large, expressive head rendered with Basquiat’s trademark gestural brushstrokes and vibrant color palette. The face is fragmented and almost mask-like, with exaggerated features that evoke a sense of vulnerability and intensity. The use of bold lines and contrasting colors adds a dynamic energy to the piece, while the fragmented text and symbols embedded within the composition hint at deeper narratives concerning identity, race, and the human psyche. “Untitled Head” captures the essence of Basquiat’s artistic vision, blending primal expression with a sophisticated commentary on the human condition.
