A famous 1980s American painter who is also the pioneer of street art. He is well known for participating in many philanthropy activities that promote AIDS eradication and the welfare of unfortunate children.

Since Keith himself was infected with HIV, he insists in stopping "dangerous sex" among young people through his work. Also, he was the creator of the first generation of the poster for Act Against AIDS (AAA).

In order to continue the spirit of Keith Haring, a memorial organization was formed in 1989 to maintain and expand his work. Not only for the unfortunate children, but also supports AIDS/HIV education and research by medical and supporting organizations.

In 1990, he died of AIDS in the youth of 31 years old.
