In This Case
Jean-Michel Basquiat (1983)
In This Case thrusts a flayed, X‑ray‑like head against a <strong>searing red field</strong>, where boxed teeth, a target‑bright <strong>single eye</strong>, and schematic glyphs above the brow turn the face into a site of <strong>classification and alarm</strong>. Jean-Michel Basquiat fuses anatomy with street mark‑making to stage a confrontation with <strong>mortality, surveillance, and Black embodiment</strong> <sup>[1]</sup><sup>[2]</sup>.
