This piece is titled "Fallen Angel"(1981) by Basquiat. This piece stuck out to me mainly because after watching the film on Monday in the beginning of class, I was thinking about how his life led him down such a sad road eventually taking his life. Many commentators throughout the film spoke about how Basquiat was such a different kind of person, one quote that I remember stated that "he was too pure for this world." So, when I saw this work when searching through it made me think of exactly that- that Basquiat was viewed as this fallen angel and fulfilled his purpose on Earth by producing these pieces.
