Because it Hurts the Lungs 1986

"Because it Hurts the Lungs" is a 1986 painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat, a prominent figure in the Neo-Expressionist movement. The painting features a skeletal figure with a skull-like head, painted in a bold and expressive style. The figure is depicted in vibrant colors, against a white background, with multiple collage elements, a defining characteristic of Basquiat's work. His art often addresses themes of race, poverty, and the struggles of urban life.
