Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) was a groundbreaking American artist who transitioned from a street-level graffiti poet to a global neo-expressionist icon. His work is celebrated for its raw, energetic style that blended text, anatomy, and social commentary to explore themes of race, class, and Black identity. Born in Brooklyn to a Haitian father and a Puerto Rican mother, he was a precocious child who was fluent in English, Spanish, and French by age 11. At age seven, he was hit by a car; while recovering, his mother gave him a copy of Gray’s Anatomy, which sparked his lifelong fascination with the human figure and anatomical sketches.
