Keith Haring Ch 12 Interview 

I totally agree.

Well said! What an incredible loss to the art community and world in general- he had only just begun and probably had no idea just how much his work would be admired. One thing is for sure - he left his mark.

Literally same I’m seeking out interviews I’ve only seen pics of em he’s so adorable

Yeah, he's got really good energy. I was just watching a doc about Basquiat and Keith was floating around. They made great contemporaries.

He was amazing

Agree!

Ditto !

what an ageist comment. these people may not know who he is - but they are learning. isn't that the point

@@chelseagirl278 Not at all! I was merely meaning there would be, and have been, plenty of famous musicians and artists that didn't talk to their interviewer with the respect that Keith did. That's all.

@@dantofoz11 thank you for clarifying. you are right he seemed like a respectful person without ego which is refreshing

@@chelseagirl278 No problem at all! Honestly, thanks for the exchange!

it is wonderful to talk about Keith, his memory, talent and incredible legacy!

His work is definitely legendary but chill out; he didn’t create graffiti lol

He was the first artist i ever learned about, or remember learning about that is. It influenced me and i revisted his work at 23 and completely changed my life again. Such an important artist.

they may be "squares" but they are interested and respectful

@@chelseagirl278 he said that

@@EmantheHeartbreak yes I know, I am just reiterating that. I loved how he gave them pins

They actually asked very good questions, which would help people who did not know who Keith Haring was/is !

they might be squares, but they show genuine interest and are very gracious toward keith. good interview.

Same here. Now I am watching all videos pertaining to him.

Warhol was one of his inspirations.

Also Warhol was autistic. He had a hard time with interviews.

agreed

@@auntiewarhol6414warhol knew what he was doing and if you think that he fooled you lmao. Warhol was a genius

@@Moonlight-mz7mu Most autistic people are very intelligent. I definitely do think he’s a genius. Definitely not fooled by his Intelligence. lmao

For their age and seeming unfamiliarity, I thought they shared Keith's joy, wonder and surprise nicely.

They both wore those buttons on the day he died.

Thanks for sharing that! Yes, he was. Gone far too soon.

Sounds like a phony coincidence

OBSCENITIES

Who is the blackest person you've ever seen?

yes I had the same exact thought but to all you readers who aren't familiar with casual internet jokes (sometimes OBSCENETIES), they just clearly don't know how important this man's art is to the living people on this earth still

“The drawing itself is the signature!” I said that to an art teacher as a kid bc she kept insisting I sign my work.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

assassination gimp One of the best things I’ve ever heard ❤️

Question.. was he one of the most stylish artists in that era.. because besides his art he also have a great style in the clothing he is wearing.. it’s inspiring …!

@@bacht4799He was wearing what many were wearing

​@bacht4799 A lot of his art was actually used for making women's clothing during the 1980s. During late 1983, he collaborated with British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood when she opened her store (World's End) in London. She had a collection called, "The Witches Collection" and the clothes were made out of fine heavy knit all done by hand using an analog knitting machine. The skirt Madonna wore in her 1984 music video for "Borderline" was the "Devil skirt" Keith lended his art for, and he gifted Madonna that skirt. They were only made for a limited time because of how many British pounds it costed to make them, which is why most of his clothing designs are tucked away in museums. During 2013, Japanese company Sly Official honored Keith, and his artwork and partnered with the Keith Haring Foundation to create the same fine knit pieces with his art on them. If you're lucky you might find a few on Ebay. As for Keith himself, he was mostly just a jeans, t shirt, and hoodie kind of guy. He mostly cared about making the world a better place through his art.

That was such a hard period in the city, many great artists, designers, creatives, intellectuals, activists, social scientists etc. were lost leaving a void in humanity and culture that took many years to heal.

That's called an inexperienced interviewer who knows nothing of their subject...

What did warhol say about keith haring???

Anyone can do an interview and appear poised and humble. How to talk with friends and artistic peers is going to be very different from a formal interview.

That comparison makes no sense

Don't buy

@@sharksport01 My apologies, that comment was written when I was high on Ambien, I'm proud to say I am 2 years clean.

Man these anime avatars styled like how we grew up

??????

Did you even watch? they were lovely?

* a part, not “apart”…opposite meaning in fact.

BTW, so did Warhol. They both saw art as an industry they could profit from. nothing wrong with that. its up to the spectator or art historian to value Haring or Warhol`s works and consider they are important in art history.

@@luisferr2001 well said!

Psuedo-artist? The guy was able to paint entire murals in the span of just a few hours. I don't care for Warhol, but Keith definitely had talent.

he's really talented! come on!

He didnt get off, he was fined and paid his fines. These were the days before the militarized police and draconian punishments.

No they aren't, lol, I have a drawer full.
