Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) was an American artist prominent in the neo-expressionist art scene in New York during the 1980s. The artwork "Popeye has no pork in his diet" is from 1982, one of Basquiat's most prolific years. This piece combines symbols, phrases, and a raw, spontaneous style characteristic of his work.
Basquiat often used pop culture references and social commentary in his artworks. In this case, the reference to Popeye could be a subtle critique of stereotypes and consumer culture. Moreover, 1982 was a pivotal year for Basquiat, as he began to gain significant recognition and collaborated with Andy Warhol.
