Khanh's peer review
editI really enjoyed reading your interesting paragraphs about Keith Haring and Robert Mapplethorpe. Both were naturally and passionately interested in art since childhood. Both artists were similarly diagnosed with AIDS around 1980s. Both were very well-known artists. They were different in that Mr. Haring produced colorful happy modern art and Mr. Mapplethorpe provided black and white serious portraits. Both probably helped to shape public opinion about AIDS during their lifetimes and even later through foundations. Thank for including the two artists in the article “ART of the AIDS Crisis” during the early AIDS pandemic.
