Meaning & Analysis

In his Flowers series (1990), Haring uses flower-like subjects to allude to the fragility of life and closeness to death for those living during the AIDS epidemic. Completed the year of Haring’s own AIDS diagnosis and a couple of years before the Flowers series, Apocalypse 10 is an early conceptualisation of this powerful flower symbol. Haring makes clear the paradoxical theme of life and death with a horizontal stem that shows a skeleton hand on one side and an organic life form about to be plucked on the other.

Tear drops drawn by Haring, reflected in the drips of ink on the print, fall from Christ’s eyes as he overlooks the tumbling pile of anonymous dead bodies below. The image of Jesus weeping is a common Christian symbol to show Christ’s humanity, representing the rage felt against the tyranny of death over mankind. As with the rest of the Apocalypse series, Haring reworks common religious iconography to create a cynical, pictographic social commentary, that is especially pertinent in the context of the 1980s AIDS epidemic in New York City.

  • Keith Haring was a luminary of the 1980s downtown New York scene. His distinctive visual language pioneered one-line Pop Art drawings and he has been famed for his colourful, playful imagery. Haring's iconic energetic motifs and figures were dedicated to influencing social change, and particularly challenging stigma around the AIDS epidemic. Haring also pushed for the accessibility of art by opening Pop Shops in New York and Japan, selling a range of ephemera starting from as little as 50 cents. Haring's legacy has been cemented in the art-activism scene and is a testament to power of art to inspire social change
