Two Heads (Dos Cabezas) - Jean-Michael Basquiat - Neo Expressionist Painting - Posters
100 Rs
Jean-Michel Basquiat emerged from the "Punk" scene in New York as a gritty, street-smart graffiti artist who successfully crossed over from his "downtown" origins to the international art gallery circuit. In a few fast-paced years, Basquiat swiftly rose to become one of the most celebrated, and possibly most commercially exploited American "naif" painters of the widely celebrated Neo-Expressionism art movement.
Basquiat's work is one of the few examples of how an early 1980s American Punk, or graffiti-based and counter-cultural practice could become a fully recognized, critically embraced and popularly celebrated artistic phenomenon, indeed not unlike the rise of American Hip Hop during the same era.

About Two Heads (Dos Cabezas) JeanMichael Basquiat Neo Expressionist Painting
Dos Cabezas, meaning "two heads" in Spanish, is based on the self-portrait Warhol took with Basquiat.The artwork ignited a close friendship between them which led to a collaboration on numerous paintings.Warhol used a Polaroid he took of Basquiat to create the silkscreen portrait Jean-Michel Basquiat (1982) using his piss painting technique.Although Basquiat and Warhol created several portraits of each other in the following years, Dos Cabezas is their only joint portrait. It sold for $7 million at Christie's post-war and contemporary evening sale in November 2010.About the Posters
