On the South Lawn: Acrobats
01 Jul, 2007 - 15 Nov, 2007
Growing up Keith Haring acquired basic cartooning skills from the popular culture around him. He credits Dr Seuss, Walt Disney and his father as inspirational figures in his early artistic development. During his career, Haring devoted himself to public art that often conveyed a social message. His piece "Acrobats" exemplifies Haring`s unique graphic sensibility and devotion to the primacy of the line. These elements combine to create a work of stunning simplicity and symmetry. The gravity-defying pose also instills the piece with a sense of remarkable balance and vitality.
