Meaning & Analysis

Haring depicts each body moving in opposition to one another but constrained by the shared heart formed by their necks in the centre, exaggerating the sense of movement and joy that the print encapsulates. Each limb of the figure’s body is bent at an almost right angle to create symmetry across the picture plane and at a glance the print’s subject is ambiguous. The kinetic energy of the print is emphasised by Haring’s use of lines that radiate from the figure, and the spotted ground beneath.

This joyful pictogram celebrates love and dancing, themes that Haring conveyed throughout his entire career. The two figures come together to form a central beating heart and Haring uses the motif of conjoined genderless figures as a symbol for the power of working together.

  • 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
