Combining the tools of graffiti (Magic Marker, spray enamel) with those of fine art (oil and acrylic paint, collage, and oil stick), Basquiat's best paintings maintain a powerful tension between opposing aesthetic forces; expression and knowledge, control and spontaneity, savagery and wit, urbanity and primitivism while providing acerbic commentary on the harsher realities of race, culture, and society. Here he creates a portrait of a short-order cook. (Source: Gagosian Gallery [website]; https://gagosian.com )
