Keith Haring

Keith Haring (1958–1990) was an American artist known for his bold, energetic, and graffiti-inspired artwork. His style featured bright colors, thick black outlines, and recurring symbols like radiant babies, barking dogs, and dancing figures. Haring emerged from the New York street art scene in the 1980s, using subway walls as his canvas before gaining international recognition. His work often carried strong social messages, addressing topics like AIDS awareness, apartheid, and equality. Haring's legacy lives on through his art and the Keith Haring Foundation, which supports children's programs and AIDS-related organizations.
