Keith Haring cards

Other art by Keith Haring

Furthermore, Keith Haring is all about shapes and colors. To get right into it, from one of the cards it is not clear what you are seeing, it also has no title. It looks like a keyhole or a fence, but the most striking thing is the fact that it looks like hands are grasping each other. The plate actually has only a few colors, beige and blue, but also the black lines that outline it. You can send this card for a variety of occasions, even a wedding it is appropriate. It's about connection, that's clear.

Another card where the hands are approaching each other is one with six hands, three above and three below, holding a green object together, it looks like a piece of the hedge, over a bridge. Whatever it is, again you can call it connection.

This also applies to the next card, this one is quite different though. First of all, because there are so many different colors. They are people, drawn in a basic way, in fact, it comes down to dolls. They are swarming through the masses. The color is not per puppet, but they are color boxes in which there are a number of puppets, the colors just run through the bodies. The colors purple, pink, blue, green and orange, all appear.

Another impressive card by this artist is a landscape in red, against a black background. If you look closer you can see trees with branches and leaves in the red, yet they could even be parts of human bodies, so graceful and supple as if they were dancing. The difference between one form and the other is because it is a lighter red, there are no other black lines, etc.

There is also a card, again featuring the artist himself, lying on a very special background with arms and legs spread, which is somewhat reminiscent of the previous card, but in different colors.

Coca-Cola's advertising is already familiar, but Haring has put his own spin on it, a red background on which is written in white, transparent letters: New Coke! What it is supposed to refer to is for your own interpretation; it may be a kind of ironic counterpoint to the real advertisement.

Finally, a very striking card, from this remarkable artist. A drawn elephant on the ground, that background looks like a blackboard. Here we are talking about graffiti. On it, there is a person in a crane of some sort, going over this image, to remove it, it seems.

Precisely because these cards are usually untitled and you can make out what you want, also because they are not always clear, you can look at them longer and with more interest. But you can't argue about taste, you can't like everything, that's your own choice.
