Meaning & Analysis

The Story Of Red And Blue 11 shows two figures depicted in Haring’s trademark figurative style, each holding in their hands a bright red ball with smiling faces. Haring’s use of action lines that radiate from the figures creates a sense of dynamism and movement to the image.

This is a playful and appealing image that is reminiscent of traditional children’s story book illustrations, however throughout the series there seems not to be any cohesive storyline. Despite giving the viewer no context to this unusual image, Haring’s use of simplified shapes and recognisable figures work to create a universally comical image. The energetic lines and bright colours used encourages the viewer to find a sense of joy from this print.

  • Keith Haring was a luminary of the 1980s downtown New York scene. His distinctive visual language pioneered one-line Pop Art drawings and he has been famed for his colourful, playful imagery. Haring's iconic energetic motifs and figures were dedicated to influencing social change, and particularly challenging stigma around the AIDS epidemic. Haring also pushed for the accessibility of art by opening Pop Shops in New York and Japan, selling a range of ephemera starting from as little as 50 cents. Haring's legacy has been cemented in the art-activism scene and is a testament to power of art to inspire social change
