Keith Haring's SWING. Since 1982, the Montreux Jazz Festival poster became art. Thanks to Pierre Keller, who subsequently became head of the department that managed the image of the Festival. A year later, Pierre Keller met Keith Haring and his graffiti works in New York. He asked him for a swinging character, 3 projects - 3 creations. Keith Haring was invited to Montreux and then started making original signs in the city of Montreux. His work met with great success.
Keith Haring, together with Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, were the founders of pop art.
