Biography:
Born in Philadelphia, Keith Haring studied at both the Ivy School of Art in Pittsburgh and the New York School of Visual Arts. Under the encouragement of Keith Sonnler and Joseph Kossuth, Haring began to experiment in Conceptualism. Even more of his inspiration came from comic strips, cartoons, and the graffiti that he saw in the New York streets. Haring spent sometime actually contributing to the graffiti, covering advertisements with chalk and markers. In the 1980’s, he expanded to commercial art, printing his primitive figures and forms on t-shirts, badges, posters, and murals.
