スミソニアン博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (スミソニアン博物館Instagram)「Keith Haring designed this poster for his 1983 debut at the Fun Gallery, a home to many artists during the early 1980s East Village art scene in New York City. The piece in our @cooperhewitt exemplifies Haring's ability to turn two-color line drawings into complex imagery. Haring first gained attention for a series of chalk drawings on empty subway station advertising placards. Influenced heavily by the city’s growing graffiti culture and the science of semiotics (the study of signs and symbols), he saw subway stations as a platform for engaging with the public on a mass scale. His figure illustrations frequently functioned in place of text. Haring's work appeared in large-scale public sculpture, mass-produced clothing and tarp paintings, and addressed issues like corporate greed, political corruption, racism, sexuality and homophobia. In 1990, Haring died from complications due to AIDS at age 31. #PrideMonth #SmithsonianPride」6月16日 5時49分
