KEITH HARING
Keith Haring was an American painter, designer and sculptor known all over the world. His ideas were all about equality, inclusion and the environment. He became famous in New York for his drawings on the streets and subways, where everyone could see them. At the time this was very different, other artists only exhibited in museums and galleries, which were less accessible.
