Trumpet, 1984 Poster

Inspired by his love of jazz music, Jean-Michel Basquiat painted Trumpet in 1984. The bright colors, crossed-out words and reference to black cultural history are all typical of Basquiat, whose works challenged Western histories by depicting black men as kings wearing his trademark three-point crown. Originally done in acrylic and oil paintstick on canvas—Basquiat's intriguing painting is beautifully reproduced on this poster.  24" H x 24" W Ready for framing  Printed on Monte Carlo 300gsm watercolor paper © Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
