Keith Haring

Keith Allen Haring was an American artist whose pop art and graffiti-like work grew out of the New York City street culture of the 1980s. 

Haring's work grew to iconic popularity from his exuberant spontaneous drawings in New York City subways – chalk outlines on blank black advertising-space backgrounds – depicting radiant babies, flying saucers, and deified dogs.


After public recognition he created larger scale works such as colorful murals, many of them commissioned.


 His imagery has become a widely recognized visual language.


His later work often addressed political and societal themes – especially homosexuality and AIDS – through his own unique iconography.

Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Fox Lichtenstein was an American pop artist.  During the 1960s, along with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and James Rosenquist among others, he became a leading figure in the new art movement. 

His work defined the premise of pop art through parody.^[2] Inspired by the comic strip, Lichtenstein produced precise compositions that documented while they parodied, often in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

His work was influenced by popular advertising and the comic book style. He described pop art as "not 'American' painting but actually industrial painting".

His paintings were exhibited at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City.
