Keith Haring Journals

Renowned in his lifetime for spontaneous, hands-on, archetypal imagery, Keith Haring captured a street audience while ignoring the art world establishment. Since his death Haring has gained increasing attention as a serious, visionary artist. His journals, kept from high school until his just before his death from AIDS in 1990, dispel any lingering notion of him as a "naive" artist and reveal his conscious, committed drive to expand the boundaries of art.
