Keith Haring: Drawing the Line

Just saw Drawing the Life, which goes over Keith Haring's spirit and spontaneity when it comes to art. He was influenced by Andy Warhol and pop art, but definitely put his own twist into each of the pieces.

He started out just drawing with chalk on the blackboards in subway stations.

Initially, most art critics were not very accepting of his work, but he began to gather a cult following with everyone outside the critical clan.

He used his art to spread awareness about several social and political issues.
