Keith Haring: The Childlike Genius of America's Favorite Artist

Рет қаралды 588,551

Күн бұрын

Keith Haring was an American artist whose pop & graffiti-like work grew out of the New York City street culture of the 1980s. His art is instantly recognizable for its simple childlike aesthetic and line-drawing style often made with very few colors. That universal quality that draws us to his work lead some to think that his art is easy to achieve but it isn’t. Haring believed, and his work shows us that that art should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further.

I went to a Catholic school in Brooklyn, Brownsville. We had a huge, long handball court in our schoolyard, and every year, over the summer, there would be a new graffiti mural painted on it because the Nuns and Priests would hire local artists to spraypaint. Well on my 4th grade year, the mural was definitely a Keith Haring. I only realized it 3 years later and I don;t think my school realized who they hired. You know they painted over it the next year for new mural? Ha.

I got so angry when the man called his work "fast food", claiming that his work didn't hold any heavy meaning or message. The messages in Keith's work are very important to me, and it just shows how deluded, brainwashed, and dedicated to a hierarchical and exclusivist idea of art. Honestly, I don't know how that person could have a job in art if he doesn't understand the sole purpose of it to invoke emotion, realization, or action in the beholder. For example, my favorite piece of Keith's is "Dog Walking Cat", which to me displays how adults and culture distort the way we see the world as we mature while making a critique of the money-centric mindset that is so prevalent in America. This idea of retaining a sense of adolescence and childlike fascination is incredibly important and meaningful to me, but some people may not see this artwork in the same way as me. This is perfectly fine though because that is what art is all about. My perception of this artwork can be completely different from the person sitting next to me, and that is completely fine. The meaning that I derive from an artwork and the meaning that another person assumes are equally as valid, and not many people understand that. It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth that there are people who think of art as a definite concept or political statement. "Art is for everyone".

I never realized Warhol, Basquiat and Haring died very close to each other. It was the metropole for art since the thirties, and I never understood how it changed to Berlin. These things just match up very smoothly chronologically speaking, and we will probably narrate art as such: America rebelled, Berlin liberated and today anyone can be an artist if they want to be. I humbly bow to these artists for granting us such creative freedom and their vision to keep fighting for liberal arts.

@@juniorjames7076 I'd love to do research on this transition and make a report out of it, whether that's a movie or a book. I'm sure no one's tried that before and it still fascinates me how the "centre" shifted from NYC to Berlin, and then back to NYC. There's only a small window of Berlin being the art centre of The West and I guess that's simply because it was, in part, because artists wanted to get a whiff of this city where East and West were confronted. It's still interesting to go there and see it for yourself today, it hasn't really changed much geographically speaking, but the art scene has changed alot and it's rather pseudo-intellectual? Like, anarchists pretending they can change the world, yet almost no one cares about what's made in Berlin these days exactly because the world has significantly expanded since then and there are so many fairs where you can sell your art without having to be in one place or another. It's very interesting.

This video brought me to tears. Even though Keith died 6 years before I was even born, my parents have always had his work around our house and I just loved it's simplicity and playfulness. When I learned how Keith was dedicated to making his art accessible and meaningful, along with his love for children, it really inspired me. Now, I'm in my first year of teacher's college and I've had such a difficult time staying motivated since everything is online and it feels so meaningless when I can't work in-person with kids. Keith did so much with his short life and it makes me want to be better and be there for kids and spread love and acceptance and creativity again. I wish I could inspire just 0.001% of the amount of people he did.

EXTREMELY WELL DONE! As a native New Yorker who is only a few years younger than Keith, I remember seeing his work around town, and I used to bring my nephew to the Pop Shop and buy him t-shirts, which he still has! You did a great job explaining the significance of Keith's work, and the laughing child at the very beginning totally set the right tone. At the end of the day, art for Keith was meant to make us happy while also letting us think in whatever way we wanted to about what he did, the very antithesis of that "art critic" that you included. Anyway, great job!

when I was young I remember seeing some of my first Keith Haring drawings. I didn't know the artist name at the time but I remember being inspired... as a child I would constantly draw and doodle write poetry, sing, and be silly regardless of what others thought. over time life beat me down... my creativity has only come in small burst. I used to keep journals with all of my art and writings but over time it just became a secret pastime. even people closest to me had no idea I had these gifts and would be in awe seeing me create and then just not creating at all, tucking away a side of me that I hid for fear of judgment. I became a victim of burnout, running in the rat race.. but 2 years ago I woke up. I looked at myself and realized that my child like wonder isn't something I should hide just because society wants me to "grow up". stumbling upon this video and learning more about someone that inspired me visually and now also verbally by hearing him speak and seeing his story just gave me an extra creative push. Keith doesn't even know the magnitude of his works, and if he did know he was humble throughout it all. A true inspiration. RIP.

I do think public opinion of his murals has greatly changed over the years for the better though, as his murals weren't all that treasured in the 90s and 00s - it was really only since the late-00s/early 2010s they started being maintained and restored.

I dont know how to explain it, but it was the missing piece to something i kept denying of myself as an artist. I think you described the inner child in the most touching and understandable way possible. And it was what i needed to really commence this new chapter in my life. Keith Haring and Andy Warhol always touched me deeply and changed my life in all honesty. But i always knew there was something deeper about these artists that caused this massive impact. Ive always felt a deep connection with my inner child but denied and suppressed those aspects of myself due to the way i view my place in society or the value i put in society standards.

And because you did, I'm enjoying the fruits of Mr. Haring's artistic life even more and starting to dive deeply into the inspiration for each of his work. And I appreciate it. Watching the video in its entirety, I agree completely that Keith Haring stayed true to his "inner kid", just as we all have to do to stay happy and spiritually strong and alive.

Hey just wanted to say, this video was phenomenal, thanks so much for putting this together, it was also very inspirational. I've been meaning to start a second channel doing whatever I feel like with disregard for the algorithm and Haring words about the purity of childlike creation were very motivational

The cover of A Very Special Christmas album has stuck with me since I was a kid and now I’m just learning it was Haring. I love that album cover.

I'm a big fan of Keith Haring's work, having been born a month prior to his death and growing up in the 90s I saw his work as a child and his simplistic yet clever style has always stuck with me. Probably one of the reasons I draw till this day. This video was a great insight into who Keith Haring was and why his art will continue to stand the test of time.

He is my idol. As a fellow artist, I have always loved this mans work since I was a kid. Today, I have 3 tattoos inspired by him. I always tell people, if I were brought up in his time, this man would have been my husband.
