The artwork titled “Keith and Julia” was created by Keith Haring in 1986. It is a figurative piece belonging to the Neo-Expressionism art movement. As with many of Haring’s works, this piece embodies his distinctive style.
The artwork features two simplified, abstract human figures, outlined in bold black lines against a vibrant yellow background. The figures face each other and appear intertwined with complex patterns that convey a sense of movement and energy. Interspersed within the figures are bright colors, such as green, blue, and red, which add depth and dynamism to the piece. The intricate lines and forms, characteristic of Haring’s work, evoke emotions and themes that invite viewers to ponder the relationship and interaction between the figures. The colorful strokes and the abstract representation highlight the energy and expressiveness synonymous with the Neo-Expressionism movement.
