Keith Haring

Sean Kalish

1989

An etching by Keith Haring that translates his signature energetic, cartoonlike figures into a small inked composition, using precise etched lines to convey movement and interaction.

A tiny central square bursts with animated, sticklike characters and looping, bottle‑shaped outlines—figures jump, grapple, and appear enclosed in bulbous forms against a wide white margin, making their rhythmic motion feel both playful and urgent.

This print shows Haring bringing the immediacy of his subway- and street-born imagery into the fine‑art realm of printmaking, helping to legitimize graffiti-derived visual language and spread his social, public-facing messages more broadly.
