Keith Haring: Radiant Vision
25 May, 2024 - 25 Aug, 2024
Keith Allen Haring grew up in a middle-class family of six in the tiny borough of Kutztown, Pennsylvania. His father, an amateur cartoonist, taught Keith to draw his own characters鈥攊nspired by Disney and Dr. Seuss鈥攁s young as four-years-old. A boy who 鈥渘ever stopped drawing,鈥� Haring enrolled in a commercial arts school in 1976, only to realize the graphic arts bore little interest for him. Two years later, he moved to New York City to study painting at the School of Visual Arts. There he befriended Kenny Scharf and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Together, the three artists became immersed in the underground art scene, their large-scale paintings taking inspiration from the graffiti, music, dance, and counterculture that surrounded them downtown.
