Chiappini, Jean-Michel-Basquiat, Skira: Milan, 2005, p. 75, no. 34 (illustrated) Catalogue Essay As Basquiat approached the age of 24, his reputation as a central figure of the burgeoning art world of the 1980s was firmly established; he graced the covers of magazines, enjoyed a jet-setting lifestyle that took him to Paris, Hawaii and Africa, and was prominent in social circles. Yet Basquiat’s keen sense self-awareness as an artist had not retreated an inch, and his work continued to be as radical as when he had burst onto the scene four years before. On the surface of his canvases, he wrestled with his personal demons and continually challenged his artistic forbearers, exhibiting his conscientiousness just as much as his willingness to live on the edge. Rodo, 1984, possesses a harrowing and deceptive serenity that that eludes many of Basquiat’s early works. This seemingly placid scene is held taut by a psychological tension and frisson that shares a direct affinity with his aggressive compositions of a few years before. Approaching a nearly classical level of balance, Basquiat’s picture is a fascinating study of his astounding facility to imbue an economically rendered figure with a universe of pathos. The central figure of the piece blazes forth in a deep royal blue and an interplay of red and orange, with highlights of chocolate brown by her ankles and black scattered around her torso. Teetering on the edge of a sculpturally rendered chair, she sits in an almost contraposto pose, contorting herself for the sake of the classical ideal. She appears to tilt toward the viewer, showcasing her neckline and full breasts in order to assert her femininity. Elsewhere, the white background fades to delicate shadow around a bright blue window, hinting at a sky full of stars outside. In one of the foremost appraisals of Basquiat’s body of work, entitled “Royalty, Heroism, and the Streets: The Art of Jean-Michel-Basquiat,” Robert Farris Thompson also finds the stylistic idiosyncrasies of Rodo to be a major turn in Basquiat’s work in 1984. He even goes so far as to hint at Basquiat’s shift towards a new cadre of influences
