Drawing on recognisable sources from cartoons, television and books, KAWS’ artworks are universally understood. In this way the artist’s fascination with exploring a visual language, that surpasses geographical locations or cultural barriers, is brought to the fore. Snoopy: Red Baron in its large scale and graphic treatment serves as a resounding example of KAWS’ artistic style. Previously using imagery from Mickey Mouse, the Smurfs and SpongeBob SquarePants, KAWS dedicates this particular piece to another icon associated with childhood – Charlie Brown's pet dog Snoopy from the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. Peanuts featured in over 2,600 newspapers, with a readership of 355 million in 75 countries, and was translated into 21 languages, therefore it is unsurprising that the immediately recognisable beagle is portrayed in many of KAWS’ works as it perfectly embodies the notions so central to the artist’s explorations.
