On Friday, many students will be going to San Francisco to see some Keith Haring work. Haring was an interesting story by how he got to national prominence as you do not see artists reach that level of fame while they are still alive. He was raised in a typical middle class household in Pennsylvania but had so much to tell in his art. He related so well to young America that helped him garner fans. He got his start using chalk to create on blank subway ad spaces. Art that could have been sold for thousands of dollars he was getting arrested for. That is why I feel so many people, including myself, were so inspired by Keith Haring and his work. |
