I recently finished reading Keith Harings journals. Interesting read. I would recommend it to anybody who is interested in him or his art. It gives an insightful look into the life of a world renowned artist both before he was famous and after. I found I could relate well to his journals as a student at SVA. It chronicles the change in his life from a nobody to the infamous Keith Haring, who flew all over the world painting murals and displaying in shows. His journals also illustrated his insecurities as an artist, which I feel most can relate to as well. Not to mention the historical topics that played a big roll in his life and art. Gay rights and aids where on the forefront of everyone’s mind. While reading I doodled a few sketchbook pages that are ” Keith Haring” inspired.
