Basquiat made this painting called 'God-Law' in 1981. This is apart of his street artwork. I like this painting because it shows a scale that's even, one end of the scale represents Religion, and the other end represents Law. The dollar sign in-between the God and Law shows that Basquiat depicts the Religion world and Law world are influenced by money. The law is constantly asking for money. They tax everything and anything to make that dollar. Religion also constantly asks for money. At mass, they go around with a basket where everybody puts their money donations in. I like how raw this artwork is. He didn't try to make it neat, or look pretty. He just drew what was on his mind, without thinking.
