Description
Jean-Michel Basquiat painted In Italian in 1983, layering the canvas with symbols like the profile of George Washington that's on the quarter, Latin text, anatomical references, and the words "Crown of Thorns." The work reflects his lifelong habit of pulling from cartoons, history, advertisement, and classical art, collapsing high and low culture into a single frame.
The full composition is printed on this lightweight cotton voile bandana with a graphic border. Wear it around your neck, tie it to a bag, or use it as a pocket square.
Basquiat × Banksy is an exhibition of two major paintings, one by Jean-Michel Basquiat and the other by Banksy placed in dialogue. Learn more about this exhibit and the two artists behind it on the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden's Website.
