已故的让-米歇尔·巴斯奎特（Jean-Michel Basquiat）的画作《无题（查尔斯达尔文）》（Untitled（Charles Darwin））（1983年）中包含了生物学家、遗传学家和遗传学术语的肖像。以下是对《无题》的文本和象征意义如何影响作者作为植物育种者的个人反思，使他们停下来反思自己的工作和他们的领域。他们学会了艺术如何与观众直接对话不同，允许更微妙，但可能更有效的批评和公众同行评议的独特机会。通过运用情感和唤起同理心，艺术将科学家置于其工作展开的伦理、社会政治和历史背景的深处，促使他们更全面地看待问题。最后，作者暴露了自己的偏见。
The drawing Untitled (Charles Darwin) (1983), by the late Jean-Michel Basquiat, incorporates portraits of biologists, geneticists and genetical terms. What follows is a personal reflection on how the text and symbolism of Untitled affected the authors as plant breeders, causing them to pause and reflect on their own work and that of their field. They learned how art speaks to the spectator differently from direct conversation, allowing for subtler, but perhaps more effective, criticism and a unique opportunity for public peer review. By employing emotion and invoking empathy, art places scientists in the depths of the ethical, sociopolitical and historical contexts in which their work unfolds, urging them to see more fully. In the end, the authors expose their own biases.
