'Keith Haring: Art Is for Everybody,' opening May 26 at Los Angeles's Broad Museum, shows that the 1980s art star worked as if there was no tomorrow
“Keith Haring: Art Is for Everybody,” opening May 27 at the Broad Museum in Los Angeles, shows that the 1980s art star worked as if there were no tomorrow. By the time he died at age 31 in 1990, of AIDS-related complications, he had created thousands of works, ranging from vibrant murals inspired by comic strips and graffiti to horror-tinged visions of human cruelty.
In his early work, Haring pared figures to their essences using sharp outlines and bright, solid colors. A set of three lines radiating from a figure indicated movement, with more lines added to suggest emotions like exuberance or despair. Audiences loved the way he could summarize a complicated feeling or political thought with witty brevity, and his visual vocabulary became instantly recognizable.
