Victor 25448 1987

"Victor 25448" is a 1987 painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat, a prolific American Neo-Expressionist artist known for his bold and often controversial work. This painting is a vibrant fusion of text, imagery, and color that speaks to the themes of race, identity, and social commentary that were central to Basquiat's artistic practice. The figure of a black man in the foreground, surrounded by words like "IDEAL" and "MONEY TRAIL," highlights Basquiat's exploration of the complex relationship between race, power, and social constructs. The artwork's energetic, gestural style and raw, unbridled expression exemplify the Neo-Expressionist movement's embrace of emotional intensity and spontaneity.
