Basquiat's "In Italian" exemplifies his signature methodology of collaging disparate cultural registers—juxtaposing numismatic imagery, classical textual fragments, and vernacular visual language. The composition synthesizes his multivalent interests: monetary systems, ecclesiastical symbolism, anatomical inquiry, and art historical canon. This cap renders that conceptual density accessible, presenting the work's intricate layering of references across its surface.
