Essential quotations from renowned artist and pop icon Keith Haring
Keith Haring remains one of the most important and celebrated
artists of his generation and beyond. Through his signature bold
graphic line drawings of figures and forms dancing and grooving,
Haring's paintings, large-scale public murals, chalk drawings, and
singular graffiti style defined an era and brought awareness to
social issues ranging from gay rights and AIDS to drug abuse
prevention and a woman's right to choose. Haring-isms is a
collection of essential quotations from this creative thinker and
legendary artist. Gathered from Haring's journals and interviews,
these lively quotes reveal his influences and thoughts on a variety
of topics, including birth and death, possibility and uncertainty,
and difference and conformity. They demonstrate Haring's deep
engagement with subjects outside of the art world and his outspoken
commitment to activism. Taken together, this selection reflects
Haring's distinctive voice and reminds us why his work continues to
resonate with fans around the globe. Select quotations from the
book: "Art lives through the imaginations of the people who are
seeing it. Without that contact, there is no art." "It's a huge
world. There are lots and lots and lots of people that I haven't
reached yet that I'd like to reach." "Art is one of the last areas
that is totally within the realm of the human individual and can't
be copied or done better by a machine." "The artist, if he is a
vessel, is also a performer." "No matter how long you work, it's
always going to end sometime. And there's always going to be things
left undone." "I decided to make a major break. New York was the
only place to go." "I came to believe there was no such thing as
chance. If you accept that there are no coincidences, you use
whatever comes along." "There was a migration of artists from all
over America to New York. It was completely wild. And we controlled
it ourselves." "I couldn't go back to the abstract drawings; it had
to have some connection to the real world."

A stunning Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition of the activist
artist's extraordinary journals
Keith Haring is synonymous with the downtown New York art scene of
the 1980's. His artwork-with its simple, bold lines and dynamic
figures in motion-filtered in to the world's consciousness and is
still instantly recognizable, twenty years after his death. This
Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition features ninety black-and-white
images of classic artwork and never-before-published Polaroid
images, and is a remarkable glimpse of a man who, in his quest to
become an artist, instead became an icon.
A fascinating look at Keith Haring's New York City subway artwork
from the 1980s Celebrated artist Keith Haring (1958-1990) has been
embraced by popular culture for his signature bold graphic line
drawings of figures and forms. Like other graffiti artists in the
1980s, Haring found an empty canvas in the advertising panels
scattered throughout New York City's subway system, where he
communicated his socially conscious, often humorous messages on
platforms and train cars. Over a five-year period, in an epic
conquest of civic space, Haring produced a massive body of subway
artwork that remains daunting in its scale and its impact on the
public consciousness. Dedicated to the individuals who might
encounter them and to the moments of their creation, Haring's
drawings now exist solely in the form of documentary photographs
and legend. Because they were not meant to be permanent-only
briefly inhabiting blacked-out advertising boards before being
covered up by ads or torn down by authorities or admirers-what
little remains of this project is uniquely fugitive. Keith Haring:
31 Subway Drawings reproduces archival materials relating to this
magnificent project alongside essays by leading Haring experts.
