 Further investigation by Fred Hoffman of pieces like "Masonic Lodge" 1983 and "Untitled" (1983) in his book "The Art of Jean-Michel Basquiat" reveals a deeper interest in the artist's fascination with heads that proves an evolution in the artist's oeuvre from one of raw power to one of more refined cognizance.According to Andrea Frohne, Basquiat's painting "Untitled (History of the Black People, 1983)" "reclaims Egyptians as African and subverts the concept of ancient Egypt as the cradle of Western Civilization".At the center of the painting, Basquiat depicts an Egyptian boat being guided down the Nile River by Osiris, the Egyptian god of the earth and vegetation.
