Icons; one plate 1990

"Icons; one plate" is a 1990 work by American artist Keith Haring, known for his bold, graphic style. Haring's work often utilized simple, repeated motifs, such as the radiant baby, barking dog, and dancing figures, seen here as a red figure with wings. The graphic nature of the work was inspired by graffiti and subway art, which Haring often encountered in his native New York City. His work addressed themes of social and political issues, using his iconic language to convey his message to a wide audience. This particular piece uses bold black outlines and contrasting colors, typical of Haring's signature style.
