Haring

20Edizione: IngleseDisponibilità: Disponibile
Keith Haring ha trascorso poco più di un decennio sotto i riflettori, ma con la sua singolare combinazione di street art, graffiti, sensibilità pop ed elementi cartoon, ha creato dei capisaldi della cultura pop moderna, nonché vivaci dichiarazioni sociali e politiche. Dai primi disegni in metropolitana fino al Pop Shop di SoHo, questa concisa introduzione esplora l'innovazione e l'attivismo di Haring nel cuore della scena artistica newyorkese degli anni Ottanta.

Art is for Everybody

The artist as activist

One of the key figures in the New York art world of the 1980s, Keith Haring (1958–1990) created a signature style that blended street art, graffiti, a Pop sensibility, and cartoon elements to unique, memorable effect. With thick black outlines, bright colors, and kinetic figures, his public (and occasionally illegal) interventions, sculptures, and works on canvas and paper have become instantly recognizable icons of 20th-century visual culture.

From his first chalk drawings in the New York City subway stations, to his renowned “Radiant Baby” symbol, and his commissions for Swatch Watch and Absolut Vodka, Haring’s work was both emblematic of the manic work ethic of 1980s New York, yet distinctive for its social awareness. Belying their bright, playful aesthetics, his pieces often tackled intensely controversial socio-political issues, including racism, capitalism, religious fundamentalism, and the increasing impact of AIDS on New York’s gay community, the latter foreshadowing his own death from the disease in 1990.

In this vivid introduction to Haring’s work, we explore the dynamic life and innovative spirit of this singular artist, who spent little more than a decade in the spotlight, but through the accessibility of his visual vocabulary and the strength of his political commitment became one of the most significant artists to emerge from New York’s vibrant, downtown community.

It is a quite detailed review of all KH's career. Does not focus only on the most well known pieces of art but get into detail on other less publicited works. Interesting to read.
