May 13th: NYC incoming images from Rosy Nicholas = Keith Haring: 1978–1982 at Brooklyn Museum


















Thanks again to Rosy for sending over more images from her cultural viewings in NYC - this time "Keith Haring: 1978–1982" at Brooklyn Museum.  I always really liked Keith's work but it wasn't until Rosy lent me a documentary of his life that I acquired a whole new appreciation for his altruistic approach and and fell totally in love with his legacy.  So it's brilliant that there is a show in his associated town for Rosy's first visit to The Big Apple:  

"here are images of my day at the Brooklyn museum, it was a glorious New York Saturday and it was especially nice to see his work whilst in New York, so close to the streets he painted on and everything that influenced him."
