About The Work
Jean-Michel Basquiat created many skull and head paintings throughout his career. His use of skulls is rooted in his identity as a Black artist in America, with the gestural painting reminiscent of African masks. They also present his Haitian heritage on his father’s side—specifically the Vodou religion.
This t-shirt features Basquiat’s Untitled (Skull) from 1983. The bottom right of the shirt features a sewn-in woven tag with handwritten text pulled from one of Basquiat’s famed notebook pages.
