(**) Keith Haring was born in 1958 in Reading, Pennsylvania, United States. He grew up in Kutztown and from a young age showed a strong interest in art. He studied graphic design at The Ivy School of Professional Art, in Pittsburg, and at 19, already openly gay, moved to New York, where he found inspiration in graffiti art and enrolled at the School of Visual Arts where he received influence from Keith Sonnler and Joseph Kossuth, who encouraged him to train as a conceptual artist after experimenting with form and color. Haring caught public attention in 1980 when he began drawing cartoon-like images with markers on the subways of the Big Apple, and then he painted with white chalks comics on the black panels intended for advertising, which earned him more than one arrest. His clean lines, vivid colors and active figures carried strong messages of life and unity and his exhibitions were filmed by photographer Tseng Kwong Chi. Also around this time, he organized an exhibition at Club 57, and participated in a show in Times Square, where he drew, for the first time, animals and human faces. His first solo exhibition was at Tony Shafrazi Gallery in 1981, the same year he took part in the Documenta 7 exhibition, in Kassel, Germany. In 1982 he befriended emerging artists of the time such as Kenny Sharf, Madonna and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and even met the famous Andy Warhol. In 1984 Harin went to Australia and painted several murals in Melbourne and Sydney, and even received money for his work from the National Gallery Victoria and the Australian Centre of Contemporary Art. He also visited and painted in Rio de Janeiro, the Paris Modern Art Museum, Minneapolis and Manhattan. Even at this time he designed a pink jacket that Madonna wore to perform her song “Like a Virgin” on the program “Solid Gold”. In 1985, the Museum of Modern Art in Bordeaux held a solo exhibition of his work, and he also took part in the Paris Biennale. He appeared in November of that year on MTV where he painted on a program hosted by his friend Nick Rhodes, of Duran Duran. In 1986 he painted murals in Amsterdam, Paris, Phoenix and Berlin, also painted Grace Jones's body for her music video of the song “I’m not Perfect”, and opened a shop to sell his works in SOHO. By then, his works began to reflect the socio-political problems of the time such as anti-apartheid, AIDS and drugs. He also created pop art pieces for brands like Absolut Vodka, Lucky Strike and Coca Cola, and even designed the cover of the benefit album “A Very Special Christmas”, in which his friend Madonna was included. In 1988 he was included in a select list of artists whose works appeared on the labels of Chateau Mouton Rothschild wines, and that same year he was diagnosed with AIDS, so the following year he opened the Keith Haring Foundation whose aim was to fight social problems related to this disease and to make the artist's work known through exhibitions, publications and licenses of his work. In June 1989 he painted his last public work on a wall of the convent of the Church of Saint Anthony in Pisa. This work was titled “Tuttomondo”. Keith Haring died on February 16, 1990 at the young age of 32, victim of AIDS. (**) "The Man of the Cup", 1989, is a vivid testament to the artist's ability to combine playful imagery with deep symbolic depth. This silkscreen captures Haring's characteristic energy, using bold lines, vibrant color planes and a dynamic composition to create a figure both whimsical and captivating. The central figure, whose torso segmented suggests a layered structure, almost like a matryoshka, is depicted in full motion, with arms raised in an exuberant gesture, radiating vitality and movement. The surrounding lines and shapes amplify this sense of kinetic energy, transforming the figure into a beacon of life and animation. On a striking blue-green background with a purple dotted backdrop, the work shows the masterful use of contrast and rhythm by Haring. The interaction of color, form and movement embodies Haring's interest in the universality of human expression, translating joy, vitality and connectivity into a visual language instantly recognizable. The figure of the "Man of the Cup" encapsulates Haring's exploration of transformation, multiplicity and the interaction between individual and collective experience, reflecting his lifelong commitment to social issues through accessible imagery. This work exemplifies Haring's enduring legacy: his ability to create visually captivating, socially resonant and deeply human art. It is both a celebration of movement and energy and a moving reflection of Haring's innovative vision in late-20th-century contemporary art.
