Meaning & Analysis

The motifs that appear in Barking Dogs are among Haring’s most famous symbols, originating from his subway drawings from the early 1980s. The dog motif, one of the first symbols reproduced by Haring in the streets of New York, is especially prominent in this print and represents the difference between human power and animal instinct. Moreover, the dots that cover the barking dogs are used to symbolise the perceived otherness of homosexuality. Combined with the artist’s use of energy lines that emanate from the barking dogs, a sense of anxiety is created around this print’s subject.

The television screen is another key motif used by Haring throughout his career. Living through a time of technological acceleration, Haring saw the “machine aesthetic” as a threat to humanity and used the television as a powerful symbol for totalitarian-style manipulation. Haring uses the image of the television screen in this work to symbolise the uncontrollable nature of mass culture.

  • Keith Haring was a luminary of the 1980s downtown New York scene. His distinctive visual language pioneered one-line Pop Art drawings and he has been famed for his colourful, playful imagery. Haring's iconic energetic motifs and figures were dedicated to influencing social change, and particularly challenging stigma around the AIDS epidemic. Haring also pushed for the accessibility of art by opening Pop Shops in New York and Japan, selling a range of ephemera starting from as little as 50 cents. Haring's legacy has been cemented in the art-activism scene and is a testament to power of art to inspire social change
