The major retrospective book on the artist claims that when you see a Keith Haring painting you know instinctively that it’s his work. Unfortunately for his imitators (as in this book) this adage proves true again and again. Artist Josh Cochran attempts to infuse his compositions with a Haring-like feel, and while his pictures are fun and illustrate the artist’s life decently, they never quite reach the easy joy that Haring is known for. The biographical details and narrative crafted by Matthew Burgess are actually far more interesting than the illustrations, in my opinion, as they explore Keith’s life with accuracy while keeping it appropriate for young audiences. Considering that much of Haring’s work was beloved by children (and made specifically for them, in some cases), it’s a shame that the publisher felt the need to imitate his art rather than have an artist draw around the work that Keith has already done to make a more innovative book. ( ) This was a fantastic book. This book is a biography of Matthew Burgess in the form of a picture book. Hence, "drawing" on walls. Although this is a children's book, Matthew does not hide important details of his life that some may consider not talking about. He talks about being a part of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as his journey with AIDS. He highlights that he does not let this hold him back, and he continues pursuing his passion in art. I would recommend this book for anyone, but especially children who need to be exposed to things like this matter. This book is simple and inspiring. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Truly devoted to the idea of public art, Haring created murals wherever he went. Often seen drawing in white chalk on the matte black paper of unused advertising space in the subway, Haring's iconic pop art and graffiti-like style transformed the New York City underground in the 1980s. A member of the LGBTQ community, Haring died tragically at the age of thirty-one from AIDS-related complications. This honest, celebratory book honors Haring's life and art, along with his very special connection with kids. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
