Meaning & Analysis

The movement and energy of the image suggests they are dancing or talking to one another. The two central figures that dominate the composition are surrounded by other shapes rendered in similar black lines. The print is full of zig zags, swirls and curved lines. These lines, which seem to be inspired by Aztec line drawings, bring dynamism to the print and a sense of constant movement.

The strong lines seen in Untitled are typical of Haring’s work. The ‘energy lines’ emitted by the central dog-like figures are seen in Haring’s other works, such as the Growing series, and evoke the power of people working together, community and solidarity. Haring returns to the dog figure later in his artistic career, producing the Dog series from 1985-86. The barking dog, as seen in this print, has become an iconic symbol created by Haring. The dog first appeared in his subway drawing series from 1980-85 as a symbol to represent authoritarian government, abuse of power and oppressive regimes.

Untitled is an example of the lithographs Haring made earlier in his career. Soon after this print, in 1983, he began making screen prints. This change in technique was likely due to the medium being popularised by Andy Warhol, one of Haring’s most important influences.

  • 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
