One of my favorites of Jean-Michel’s Baquiat's work. The background is more metallic, lighter, more spectral.
Jean Michel Basquiat, Riding with death, 1988
This painting has been grounded with a dull, gray paint, a departure from the colorful backgrounds the artist typically employed. In the work’s center, a faceless figure is shown riding a skeleton, the back of its head facing the viewer.
