Trumpet, 1984

Jean-Michel Basquiat, 1960-1988

Art work

[This work] "features an image of an individual playing a trumpet while wearing a crown on a white background with a deep red on the fringes. There's a series of letters and images above the trumpet being played; a couple of the letters are crossed out while some are written beneath the images that are all joined together in a pattern. The crown worn by the individual is black. The black colour extends to the individual's face as well.--
