Meaning & Analysis

Kutztown was the borough in Pennsylvania where Haring grew up as a child, born to Joan and Allen Haring in 1958. This print shows two figures, a man and a woman, wearing old fashioned clothing, thus it is likely that Kutztown is a portrait of Haring’s parents. Haring very rarely depicted subjects that directly related to his personal life as a child and so this print is rare in its subject matter.

The male figure is shown on the left with a thin body and black dot as a head, wearing a V-neck jumper and an oversized formal hat. The figure has his arm around the female figure who is much shorter and rounder, again depicted without facial features, shown to be wearing a simple dress and carrying a large bag. Kutztown is more abstract than much of Haring’s other works, emphasised by the sun in the right hand corner that is rendered with a flower-like pattern.

  • 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
