His father was a supervisor in a communications firm, his mother raised.02br 02br 00Keith developed his love for drawing at a very early age by obtaining his basic drawing skills from his father and from the popular culture around him such as Dr.Seuss and Walt Disney.02br 02br 00At his school, his art teachers were stunned by Keith's drawing obsessive.02br 02br 00Afterwards, in high school, Haring knew that he wanted to become an artist.02br 02br 00During his studies, Haring developed unique drawing technique: He started making little shapes that together would fill whole areas, with one shape leading into another shape, and with a line that seemed to flow endlessly - that could go on and on.02br 02br 00In 1976, after he graduated from high school, Keith signed up to the Ivy School of Professional Arts in Pittsburgh.02br 02br 00He realized that he had an interest in becoming commercial graphic artist and after two semesters he dropped out.02br 02br 00Afterwards, Haring continued to study and work by himself and in 1978 had his first solo exhibition.02br 02br 00In the same year, he moved to New York City and enrolled in the School of Visual Arts.02br 02br 00In New York, he found a prosperous alternative art community that operated in the downtown streets and subways.02br 02br 00Haring began to organize and participate in exhibitions and performances at many alternative locations.02br 02br 00Between 1980 and 1985 he created hundreds of public drawings in rhythmic lines, mainly in subway stations.02br 02br 00The subway became, as he said, a “laboratory” for working on his ideas and experimenting with his simple lines style.02br 02br 00Between 1980 and 1986, Keith Haring achieved international recognition and participated in many group and solo exhibitions. In 1982, His first solo exhibitions in New York held at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery and were very successful and popular.02br 02br 00In April 1986, Haring established “The Pop Shop”, a store in Soho selling T-Shirts, toys, posters etc, with his drawings. He ascribed importance to the store as an extension of his work.02br 02br 00The shop received criticism from many in the art world, however Haring remained committed to his desire to make his artwork available to the wide audience and received strong support for his project from friends and mentors.02br 02br 00During his short career, Haring devoted much of his time to public works, which often carried social messages.02br 02br 00He created more than 50 public drawings between 1982 and 1989, in dozens of cities around the world, many of which were created for charities, hospitals, children’s day care centers and orphanages.02br 02br 00Haring produced over 100 solo and group exhibitions.02br 02br 00In 1986, he was the main subject of more than 40 newspaper and magazine articles.02br 02br 00Haring was able to attract a wide audience, as a result, his work has become a universally recognized visual language of the 20th century.02br 02br 00In 1988, Haring was diagnosed with H.I.V (AIDS).02br 02br 00A year later, he established the Keith Haring Foundation. Its purpose was to provide funding to AIDS organizations and children’s programs, and to expand the audience for Haring’s work through exhibitions, publications and the licensing of his images. Haring enlisted his imagery during the last years of his life to speak about his own illness and generate activism and awareness about AIDS.02br 02br 00Keith Haring died of AIDS on February 16, 1990 at the early age of 31.02br 02br 00A memorial service was held on May 4, 1990 in New York City, with over 1,000 attenders.02br 02br 00Nowadays, a vast national and international public remembers Keith Haring for his strong, provocative, often smile-inducing works. 010id3
