Keith Haring quotes
" Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic. "

Keith Haring
" I don't think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it. "

Keith Haring
" I think you have to control the materials to an extent, but it's important to let the materials have a kind of power for themselves; like the natural power of gravity, if you are painting on a wall, it makes the paint trickle and it drips; there is no reason to fight that. "

Keith Haring
" My contribution to the world is my ability to draw. I will draw as much as I can for as many people as I can for as long as I can. "

Keith Haring
" People were more interested in the phenomena than the art itself. This, combined with the growing interest in collecting art as an investment and the resultant boom in the art market, made it a difficult time for a young artist to remain sincere without becoming cynical. "

Keith Haring
" Red is one of the strongest colors, it's blood, it has a power with the eye. That's why traffic lights are red I guess, and stop signs as well... In fact I use red in all of my paintings. "

Keith Haring
" See, when I paint, it is an experience that, at its best, is transcending reality. "

Keith Haring
" The dripping... well, if it happens, it happens; it does not take anything from the work. The dripping just proves that you were not trying to control the work, but the work was developing by itself and if it drips, it's a natural part in the evolution of the work. "

Keith Haring
" There are some images that I will only use once, and not use again because they don't seem to really hit the nail right on the head, but there are some which are so strong they have to be reduced; sometimes just reusing them makes them stronger. "

Keith Haring
" When it is working, you completely go into another place, you're tapping into things that are totally universal, completely beyond your ego and your own self. That's what it's all about. "
