Meaning & Analysis

Throughout his career Haring used a pictographic style inspired by Egyptian hieroglyphics and bright colours to communicate clear-cut moralistic messages. One such pictorial sign was the television screen. 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 and the horrors of death, illness and war witnessed through mainstream news outlets.

The use of many simplified figures and forms throughout his oeuvre, reflects Haring’s interest in how signs are used in many different cultures to concisely communicate multifaceted ideas. Untitled 1987 is indicative of this in its use of bright colours and clearly communicates complex ideas on passive media consumption by television in depicting the central figure with its eyes covered.

  • 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
