Jean-Michel Basquiat

Piano Lesso

1982

This 1982 hand-pulled screenprint demonstrates Basquiat's translation of his signature raw expressionist style into the medium of printmaking, maintaining his characteristic bold linear work and symbolic imagery within the technical constraints of screen printing. Part of a limited edition of 85, the work represents an important exploration of reproducing his spontaneous artistic vocabulary through mechanical processes.
