Who was Keith Haring? 

Keith Haring was a well-known street artist and pop artist in the 1980s and 1990s. Inspired by art and graffiti in New York City subways, artist Keith Haring created iconic cartoon-like figures in public spaces all over the world.His drawings were quite simple – pyramids, flying saucers, human figures, winged figures, television sets, animals, and babies. Soon his drawings became a kind of signature, and the people of New York first (where he lived) and then all around the world recognised his style immediately.
