Fantastisk og tilgjengelig kunst i Pisa

Ikke langt fra togstasjonen i Pisa finnes denne fantastiske veggen, street art av Keith Haring (May 4, 1958 – February 16, 1990). Bildet tok jeg i fjor, vår gode venn Tiziano fra Pietrasanta stoppet her med bilen sin for å vise oss dette kunstverket. I dag har jeg bladd gjennom feriebildan fra i fjor, og jeg måtte søke litt mer informasjon om denne kunstneren. Her er litt av det jeg fant på Wikipedia. Keith Haring was an artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s.In June 1989, on the rear wall of the convent of the Church of Sant'Antonio in Pisa, he painted the last public work of his life, the mural "Tuttomondo", along with 6 animated inserts for Sesame Street (which later aired a year after his death).Haring died February 16, 1990 of AIDS-related complications.In 1985 Haring started to paint canvas. Simultaneously, the Museum of Modern Art in Bordeaux opened an exhibition of his works, and took part in the Paris Biennial. He made an appearance on MTV in November 1985, painting the set during a "guest VJ" special hosted by his friend, keyboardist Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran. In 1986 Haring painted murals in Amsterdam, Paris, Phoenix and in Berlin on theBerlin Wall at Brandenburg Gate. As well, he painted the body of Grace Jones for her music video "I'm Not Perfect." and opened a retail store in SoHo called Pop Shop, selling merchandise bearing his iconic images including t-shirts, toys, posters and other objects with reproductions of his art; the outlet closed in 2005. Haring also created advertising images for Absolut vodka and Swatch watches. Keith er død, men kunsten hans lever og er tilgjengelig flere steder i verden. Han satte spor...
Er du i Pisa kan jeg anbefale deg å møte denn veggen. Det kan være godt å ha en los - du går nemlig ikke rett på den, samtidig er den veldig nær togstasjonen. GO TO PISA !
