Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960 – 1988), a graffiti artist who catapulted to fame in the 1980s, reinterprets da Vinci’s classic artwork in his own version of “Mona Lisa.” Basquiat often collaborated with Andy Warhol, and this work, comprised of acrylic paint and oil sticks, may have been influenced by Warhol’s “Dollar Bill” and his own “Mona Lisa.” In this piece, Basquiat seems to combine the two very different worlds of art and money into one image. This painting demonstrates that despite Basquiat’s legendary love of money, his heart was ultimately ruled by art.
