Description

You're never too young to be exposed....to Keith Haring! The difference between a good artist and a great artist is simply their longevity. Great works can transcend time and become timeless classics, appreciated by countless generations


Keith Haring loved children and treasured their purity and innocence. The “radiant baby” was a signature image and appeared in many incarnations in Haring's work: pregnant women dancing giddily, babies with halos and wings, cradled in their mother’s arms or playing with their dad. Matched with insightful entries from his writings, these joyful drawings continue to entertain, inspire and provoke.


New York artist and social activist Keith Haring's style of simple outline drawing combined Disney cartoons and the sophisticated “primitivism” of artists such as Pierre Alechinsky and Jean Dubuffet. In the 1970s-1980s, Haring was swept into New York’s Downtown culture of Punk and New Wave music, and he translated the street culture into his art. His art continues to inspire people today.
