Keith Haring
Keith Haring (1958-1990), a representative artist of 1980s American art, was known for his bright and lively style, but beneath his artwork lay a keen insight into society. Haring depicted society with humor and sharpness, consistently sending messages of peace and freedom.
The subtitle of this exhibition is inspired by a phrase from Haring's diary when he visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum: "Who could ever want this to happen again? To anyone?" The atomic bomb that turned the city into ashes in an instant. Even today, there are 12,000 nuclear warheads in the world, and wars continue unabated. Next year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. This exhibition aims to confront the challenges facing the world through Haring's perspective and contemplate the meaning of "peace" and "freedom" in contemporary society.
