Harro! A Classic of Finnish Pop Art
One of the most well-known figures in Harro's work, inspired by Pop Art, is a brightly coloured fat pig, whom the artist has given human qualities: the fattened pig is having a cosy night in front of the television with his family, showing off his fine cars and boats or punching things with his fist. The highlight of the piglets was the work called "The Pig Messiah" (1969) – a huge pig on a cross. He was convicted of mocking God. Photo: Stanislav Stepaško |
