Notes: Even before being diagnosed with AIDS in 1988, Keith Haring was a strong advocate of safe sex within the gay community; he had already seen how the disease ravaged those close to him. This is one of many upbeat, positive images he created to promote the lifesaving gesture of simply wearing a condom.
KEITH HARING (1958-1989) A leading Neo-Pop artist, was one of the most articulate members of his generation. He captivated the imaginations of New York City commuters with his subway wall drawings in the early 1980s, and later exhibited his works in prestigious museums throughout the world. The international success of his work has given rise to a proliferation of art in public places. Quick simple and direct, Haring's compositions of Radiant Babies and Barking Dogs draw one's attention to the playful surface activity, while beneath, one discovers Haring's unique world of sinister and subtle humor.

Keith Haring
Keith Haring began experimenting with his bold, graphic lines and cartoon-inspired figures on the walls of New York City subway stations in the early 1980s. He called them his “laboratory,” places to develop a radical new aesthetic based on an ideology of creating truly democratic public art.
Haring’s paintings, prints and murals address the universal themes of death, love and sex, as well as contemporary issues he experienced personally, like the crack-cocaine and AIDS epidemics. They derive much of their impact from the powerful contrast between these serious subjects and the joyful, vibrant pictographic language he uses to express them, full of dancing figures, babies, barking dogs, hearts and rhythmic lines, as well as references to pop culture.
To make his art even more accessible, in 1986, Haring opened the Pop Shop in Soho. In a foreshadowing of today’s intermingling of art and fashion, the shop sold merchandise and novelty items featuring imagery by Haring and contemporaries like Kenny Scharf and Jean-Michel Basquiat. While his works sometimes included text, for the most part, he chose to communicate through drawing.
“Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times,” Haring once declared. “It lives through magic.”
