Keith Haring: (Reduced size) (Rizzoli Classics)

Product Information

With thick black outlines, bright colors, and kinetic figures, his public (and occasionally illegal) interventions, sculptures, and works on canvas and paper have become instantly recognizable icons of 20th-century visual culture. Written by Haring’s sister, this is a great biography on Haring for young audiences that humanises the experience of a world-renowned artist by telling his inspirational story from childhood onwards. Attached a small sheet designed by Keith Haring, to promote a t-shirt realized by the artist in collaboration with Paul Maenz. I would love to be a teacher because I love children and I think that not enough people respect children or understand how important they are.

Very light tide mark at the spine fold, but a particularly crisp copy of a book much given to discolouration. Haring encourages each little artist to make the book their very own, inviting them to bring their unique touch to every page.Truly devoted to the idea of public art, Haring drew wherever he went: from the Berlin Wall to the unused advertising space in New York’s subway. Never taking its eye off of what matters (that kids should find picture book bios interesting and not just something their parent/guardian/teacher/librarian makes them listen to) Drawing On Walls justifies its very existence by justifying the very existence of its subject.

A scarce publication in the first printing, with 1981 copyright (also seen in a later edition, published by Appearances Press, with a 1982 imprint).A new exhibition opening this month at The Broad in Los Angeles will focus on the artist’s ambition to make work with widespread appeal, which he wrote about in his journals. Published soon after the artist’s death in 1990 at the age of 31 of an Aids-related illness, this biography tells the story of Haring’s life and career through reflections by the artist himself, his family and friends, and many of the people who knew him, from artist Roy Lichtenstein and the psychologist and psychedelics-advocate Timothy Leary, to pop star Madonna and beat poet William Burroughs. This graphic novel looks at every stage of that life, exploring his early influences, the roots of his activism, and his close friendships with other artist contemporaries. Titled after a quote from Haring's journals, Art Is for Everybody centers on the artist's activism, the emphasis he placed on community and his egalitarian approach to art and life.

Keith Haring (1958-1990) was an American artist and social activist known for his evocative illustrations. And after a decade-long journey into the heart of death, suffering, and disease contained within a few gallery rooms, I felt like I saw his iconic babies in a new light — a reminder that life, like art, always contains within itself the potential to begin anew.
