Keith Haring. A Graphic Biography

Painter, activist, genius artist: no label can capture the volcanic personality of Keith Haring. The narrative of his life starts from his childhood in Pennsylvania through his first artistic trials in his teens, from the late 1970s with the explosion in New York of the punk-new wave and rap, to the vibrant reality of the 1980s when the Big Apple established itself as the capital of cultural renewal. It was here that Haring’s fame exploded from the very beginning. This graphic novel traces the most significant moments of the artist’s life and career, his personal relationships and his vision of the world and art, until his tragic and premature death at only 31. In between are the museums and public works in the world’s capitals where his art is displayed and embraced by all, no one excluded.
