"Masque" (1981) is a painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat, a prominent figure in the Neo-Expressionist movement. The work features a bold, simplified portrait with a crown, evoking themes of power and identity. Basquiat's signature style is evident in the fragmented and gestural application of paint, creating a sense of raw energy. This piece reflects Basquiat's interest in the African diaspora and his exploration of social and political issues.
