《無題（Luna Luna詩意的大匯演）》作於1986年，是凱斯·哈林的後期作品，描繪出藝術家以同志身份在戰後的美國飄搖不定的生活。1988年，哈林被確診患有艾滋病，但之前他已對疾病的迫近與自己的性向表現出深深的焦慮。此畫中的小人被一位裸體男子捏住並在空中搖擺，岌岌可危，脆弱不堪。從畫中暴露的男性生殖器與掙扎在生死邊緣的小人可以推斷，此作很有可能代表了1980年代同志群體對於艾滋病、死亡與恐同症的抗爭。

《無題（Luna Luna詩意的大匯演）》一作為藝術家標誌性街頭藝術風格，以簡約的顏色、大膽流暢的線條創作，助凱斯·哈林一舉成名。哈林常常在街頭創作，他從不修改作品。他的作品充滿粗獷原始的能量，與在同樣社會政治環境下創作的大師巴斯基亞齊名。畫題「Luna」意為月亮，代表著白天的結束，類指人生的盡頭，哈林也正慢慢接近這一悲傷的時刻。「這一可能性非常巨大，實際上，症狀已經出現了」，他於1987年這樣形容自己的艾滋病初期症狀。「我內心很清楚，我能活這麼久，完全是上天保佑。」
