“Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump is a monumental work dating from 1982, when Basquiat reached the zenith of his talent. As is usual in Basquiat, the composition is simple, but the whole painting is a neo-expressionist ‘tour-de-force’ in which the usually pleasant scene of a boy playing with his dog is painted with the rabid energy of a primitive work of Art.”
