Crack Down 1986 — Fine Art

Crack Down 1986 by Keith Haring uses thick black outlines and simple flat colour blocks. The style belongs to the late eighties graphic drawing movement. Bold figures and repeated shapes sit on a clean background. The picture reads as a clear graphic line work.

You get a fine art print with a frame in white, wood, dark wood or black. The frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. The finish picks up the black outlines without competing with the flat colour.

A reading corner over a desk gets steady lamp light. You notice the thick outlines and the simple repeated forms before the small details. The dark frame edge holds the composition in place.
