QUIJ 1985

"QUIJ" is a 1985 painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat, known for his neo-expressionist style. The painting features a prominent windmill, depicted in bold black lines and a bright yellow background. The windmill is surrounded by a dense collage of text, imagery, and symbols characteristic of Basquiat's work. This chaotic yet visually striking piece is representative of the artist's exploration of race, identity, and social issues through layered and often jarring visuals, making it a powerful commentary on the complexities of modern society.
