Inspiration, influence

Jean Dubuffet (for childlike and round shapes), Pierre Alechinsky (for space cutting), Brion Gysin (for repeating and accumulating forms), and Robert Henri (painter and teacher, author of "The Art Spirit", a manifesto that exposes an artistic philosophy based on the way of breaking down an image to make it more quickly understandable).

His contemporaries

Basquiat, the companion of the explosion of youth in painting! But also the French artists Boisrond, Combas or Di Rosa, with whom he shared several exhibitions, including the famous "Figuration Libre, 5/5 France/USA". But also Andy Warhol, his mentor, Madonna or Grace Jones, Timothy Leary or William S.Burroughs, intellectuals, underground artists and all those who made New York move in the 80s.

To keep in mind

For Haring, recognition came with his first solo exhibition in 1982. His style is immediately recognizable and has a lasting impact on viewers. His painting (his figures) become his signature, as well as the joy that inhabits his work. His work ethic is also one of the keys to his recognition.

To go further

Haring was a revolutionary and a visionary. Because not only did his art renew Pop Art, but his way of conceiving its diffusion was also avant-garde. As early as 1986, on Lafayette Street, in SoHo, he opened his own store: the Pop Shop! Art was popular for Warhol, the inventor of Pop Art, and with Haring, it became accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy. Haring declined his art into poster editions, but also into t-shirts. It would be seen, it would be worn, the art he created first in the streets goes back there!
