Campaign 1984

"Campaign" is a 1984 painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat, an American artist known for his Neo-expressionist style that often incorporated social and political commentary. This painting, characteristically, features a complex layering of images and text in a vibrant palette. The central figure, an exaggerated depiction of a black face, is set against a blue background and surrounded by a "TOBACCO" sign, a recurring symbol in Basquiat's work. Other fragmented elements include a stick figure, a skull, and several facial figures. Basquiat's work often engaged with themes of race, identity, and the struggles of Black people.
