Meaning & Analysis

Representative of Haring’s desire to create a visual language that appealed to both children and adults alike, the series is formed of a variety of simplified images reminiscent of children’s fictional characters. Throughout the series Haring limits his colour palette to bright red and blue and renders each image in his distinctive linear style with black rounded lines.

The Story Of Red And Blue 3 features a line drawing of an unusual looking pig, resembling a character from the classic children’s story the Three Little Pigs. Haring has emphasised the pig’s lips with thick red brush strokes and has made the character look slightly demonic with its pointy teeth and human-like eyes.

Across the first half of the series, each print alternates in colour between red and blue and by the end of the series the two colours appear together in the prints. In each print Haring uses simplified and generic pictograms to produce the effect of a children’s story book without a sensical storyline, where instead the story seems to focus abstractly on the colours red and blue.
