One of the most common interpretations of Basquiat's crown motif is that it represents power and authority. The crown is traditionally associated with royalty and tribal leaders, and it is a symbol of status and wealth. By incorporating crowns into his art, Basquiat may have been commenting on the nature of power and how it is distributed in society, as well as the struggles of Black Americans.
Both artists have been associated with anti-establishment attitudes and a willingness to use their art to comment on social and political issues.14de 33
