Description
Modernist portrait of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Comes with exhibition catalog in which it is featured. This was also illustrated in "The New Yorker Magazine" 19 3/4 x 16 1/2 in. (Framed), 13 x 10 in. (Work). Was an American painter, illustrator and arts educator. Merkin's fascination with the 1920s and 1930s defined his art and shaped his identity as a professional dandy. Merkin traveled back in time as an artist, to the time of the interwar years, creating narrative scenes in bright colors of jazz musicians, film stars, writers, and sports heroes. Merkin was as well known for his painting and illustration work as he was for his eccentric collecting habits and his outré fashion sense
