Keith
Haring
Linking the art world to the world of the street, and to the widest and
most diverse public: a wonder achieved by Keith Haring thanks
to his graphic style and a deep humanism as, behind the apparent insouciance
of his drawings, Keith Haring speaks to us of love, happiness,
joy and sex, but also violence, exploitation and oppression. An infinite
repetition of synthetic forms outlined in black, "People understand
my work, it can be read like a picture book. I do simple figures that are
complex at the same time, like ideograms."
