Keith Haring's Jigsaw

Keith Haring's work reminds me a lot of Andy Warhol because of the pop art style. I like the simplicity of all of the figures in his work. They are all the same which shows that neither of them have an advantage over another one in what looks like a struggle in this piece. Most of his work in untitled, I like this because viewers can give pieces their own titles and make their own views on them. Some of his other pieces have all of the figures in different colours, which could display different emotions for each one. They jump around and display lively quirky shapes which I find interesting. The shapes that they can display are never ending, as humans discover new things every day, which makes his pieces more interesting as they developed over the years, ending in 1990. Keith Haring has a huge influence in the world of graphics based on line, his work could be used for many purposes in the advertising world. If his work was used in advertising it could carry lots of strong messages to society. In this particular piece a message of strength and trust could be portrayed because the figures are so closely put together.
