Meaning & Analysis

Typical of Haring’s figurative style, rounded lines are used to create a sense of energy and movement in the print, as though these figures are dancing or working with one another. Pre-empting works like the artist’s Growing series (1988), Untitled 1986 shows a mutated version of these more orderly, symmetrical prints of conjoined figures. This print exudes chaos and violence with its central figure seemingly moving and growing without control.

Untitled is uncompromising in its positive, comic tone with Haring’s use of colour and simplified shapes. However, upon closer examination Haring’s subject carries menacing connotations about greed and hellishness. Indeed, this year marked a transition in Haring’s life and career, as the AIDS epidemic overwhelmed the LGBT community. In the later stage of his artistic career, themes around violence and HIV/AIDS dominated his work, just as it dominated Haring’s personal life after his own AIDS diagnosis in 1988.

  • 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
