The artworks by Jean-Michel Basquiat show the views of the major creative periods highlighting the greatest achievements by the artist. One art piece that I have chosen for interpretation is SAMO Graffiti from 1980. This was a three word announcement that “SAMO IS DEAD” and it was carried out at various cities as a graffiti art.
