TED Talk




Image result for jean michel basquiat paintings

The painting above was created by Jean Michel Basquait, designed in 1981 named Untitled (Tar Tar Tar, Lead Lead Lead). The painting of a warrior holding a sword is described to be in a heroic battle field. Basquait uses a graffiti like technique in his art and it reflects on many of his other pieces. the painting was sold in 2014, for 31 million dollars. Basquaits art relates to what TED talk was speaking on because he uses many symbols, similar too drawings that were left on cave walls. Many of these caves are underground with low ceilings. half a ceilometer art is found underground. the art was made twenty thousand to forty thousand years ago. The way Basquait communicates through his art is similar to the original art work in the caves. The artist type of piece is graphic design with a message. His art includes symbols, words, animals, humans created to look like stick figure. The background of this painting even relates a cave like structure. There are different shapes incorporated into his painting and his painting is vague and simple, yet creative and geometric.
