Keith Haring

Keith Haring always wanted to draw. While attending art school in NYC he started seeing empty black pieces of paper on the subways and knew that this was the perfect place for him to draw. He began his career by making subway drawings every day. He is known for using simple pictures and bold black lines whose pictures left a lot to your imagination. He was known to say,

"It's your job to decide. I only do the drawing!"

Keith didn’t just want his art shown in galleries…he wanted everyone to make art, especially children. He worked with children in schools to paint large murals with them, and he made paintings and sculptures for schools and hospitals in many places.
