## Caption

The Barbican writes, “Picasso was one of Basquiat’s most important artistic heroes. ‘PABLO PICASSO’ is written seven times across the canvas, the name repeated as if it were sacred.

‘PICASSO AS A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD’ is inscribed on the subject’s chest, as a reminder that both he and Picasso were considered prodigiously talented at a young age.

Although Picasso’s face appears relatively young, he is depicted wearing a striped Breton jumper characteristic of his later years. By conflating these two parts of Picasso’s life Basquiat contemplates the entirety of the artist’s career.”
