Keith-Haring

In 1982 Keith Haring designed a poster “Anti-Nuclear Rally” for the major anti-nuclear protests taking place in New York’s Central Park and distributed over 20,000 copies. Between this time and his departure from this world at the age of 31 in 1990 he produced over 80 posters. Having claimed that “An artist is a spokesman for a society at any given point in history”, he went on to produce iconic posters against South African Apartheid “Free South Africa”(1985), revealing his role as a social activist. At the same time he also designed posters for theaters, music festival and children’s education programs, adeptly communicating with a succinct powerful visual form a message to the public. Having once said that the ones who smashed the barrier between people and art are the advertisement industry, the ads themselves, television and Andy Warhol, Haring followed the footsteps of the pioneer of Pop Art to strategically define posters as art.
