The artwork named “Best Buddies,” created by Keith Haring in 1990, is a part of the Neo-Expressionism and Pop Art movements and belongs to the poster genre.
In this vibrant and visually striking piece, two simple, cartoon-like human figures are depicted. One is colored bright yellow, while the other is orange. The figures, outlined in a thick black line, stand side by side, with one figure’s arm draped affectionately over the other’s shoulder, symbolizing camaraderie and kinship. The background is primarily light blue, accented with dynamic black lines radiating outward from the figures’ heads, evoking a sense of energy and connection. Beneath the figures is a pattern consisting of small black dots set against a purple background, adding depth and texture to the otherwise minimalist composition. The overall design reflects Keith Haring’s iconic style characterized by bold colors and simple, dynamic forms.
