FORMAL ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK
‘Tobacco versus red chief” Jean Michel Basquiat uses lines, drawn free hand to create non geometric shapes and form a basic outline to this artwork. He uses a composition of colour, non geometrical shapes, line, tone on the grass, the sky and the red chief. With materials such as canvas, paintbrushes, oil based paint and sometimes even his fingers, the artist’s work sends out a not so clear image of what he means by his artwork at times. Somewhat like a puzzle that keeps you thinking and interested.
The use of earthy colours and the tribal red Indian houses/tents in the background projects the feeling of confusion as the viewer might not be sure what the meaning is behind this artwork. This abstract artwork is presentable, inspired and influenced by the works of Andy Warhol and were good friends.
