Keith Haring had the singular ability to depict the complexity
of the present with both its sublime and horrifying aspects as
well as its marvelous and monstrous forms. He did so by means of
lightness and irony, pleasure and gaiety, interwoven with an
iconographic hardness and an acuteness rooted in the origin of his
myth as a both angelic and demonic artist. This myth was fully
experienced in Haring's time, which was made up of the computer
and the subway, spaceships and television, racial uprisings and
ethnic repressions, consumerism and AIDS. Haring, offering a
visual and religious, a political and social interpretation, was
quite aware that the fundamental meaning of human existence, both
personal and collective, is not death, but rebirth. This book
tries to grasp the rites of initiation and transmutation with
which Haring sought to guarantee rebirth for himself - that is,
access to a metahistorical condition: art.
