Description
View of sculpture by Keith Haring entitled, "Julia" at the Meijer Sculpture Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "Haring's deceptively simple imagery and text provided poignant and cutting cultural commentary on issues including AIDS, drug addiction, illicit love, and apartheid. As both an artist and an activist he established that depicting serious issues could be fun or at least lively when communicated through highly cartoony images and fresh and vivid choices of colors"--The Art Story website.
