King Zulu - Jean-Michel Basquiat - Neo Expressionist Painting - Canvas Prints
100 Rs
Jean-Michel Basquiat emerged from the "Punk" scene in New York as a gritty, street-smart graffiti artist who successfully crossed over from his "downtown" origins to the international art gallery circuit. In a few fast-paced years, Basquiat swiftly rose to become one of the most celebrated, and possibly most commercially exploited American "naif" painters of the widely celebrated Neo-Expressionism art movement.
Basquiat's work is one of the few examples of how an early 1980s American Punk, or graffiti-based and counter-cultural practice could become a fully recognized, critically embraced and popularly celebrated artistic phenomenon, indeed not unlike the rise of American Hip Hop during the same era.

About King Zulu JeanMichel Basquiat Neo Expressionist Painting
Jean-Michel Basquiat's 'King Zulu' features four influential jazz players submerged in a blue space evoking the lyrical sound of blues music. Basquiat positioned the legendary Louis Armstrong in the middle of the canvas alluding to his appearance as King of the Zulus at the 1949 New Orleans Carnival parade. Although exaggerated blackface was part of the parades tradition, placing Armstrong in the centre of the canvas suggests that Basquiat regarded this with some ambivalence.About the Canvas Prints
