THE PRINT
Pez Dispenser is an artwork created in 1984 by Jean-Michel Basquiat. It depicts a dinosaur wearing a crown. Its style and form are typical of Basquiat's work, which blended elements of street art with a complex, neo expressionist style. Much of Basquiat's work was figurative referencing popular culture. Pez Dispenser refers to the US candy known as Pez. Pez Dispenser is highly symbolic featuring the crown symbol that Basquait often utilised in his work. Basquiat elevated the symbol of the crown to a deep and archetypal status. For him it was a symbol of the class struggle and financial inequality that he documented throughout his life.

THE ARTIST
A renowned painter, draftsman, poet, musician, and graffiti artist, as well as an all-around arts icon, Jean-Michel Basquiat was at the forefront of New York’s downtown avant-garde in the late 1970s and 80s. Friend to many but known well by a very few, Basquiat’s influence on subsequent generations of artists has been immense. Basquiat’s work is known for its primitivist motives, combining anatomical diagrams, commercial art, Black pop cultural history and figures, charged phrases and words, and representations of the body in an emotional and psychologically explosive admixture. His employment of bright colors and his vibrant line drawings brought to vibrant life on canvas his experiences in the urban landscapes.
