Moses and the Burning Bush 1985 — Fine Art

Moses and the Burning Bush 1985 shows a tree of fire standing over a narrow ground line. Bold outlines hold bright red, yellow and blue marks. Keith Haring drew this scene with quick, open strokes. The picture reads from far away as a single flame shape.

This fine art piece hangs on a pale wall with a dark frame. The finish follows the room, so the black lines stay sharp. A light frame on a dark wall keeps the colours separate. You notice the hand drawn marks when you stand near the wall.

On the landing wall between stairs, the flame shape catches the hall light at shoulder height. From the bottom step you read the big outline first. Near the picture you see the uneven edge of each drawn mark.
