Keith Haring 1978-1982

Checked out the Keith Haring exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati. I have never seen any of his earlier work that he had first developed while studying at SVA in the late 70s/early 80s. Cut up collages, performance/video art, systematic drawings and ciphers...its a retrospective of the very work that constructed the foundation behind his his iconic visual language of abstracted shapes and sexually driven characters. I was inspired and compelled to re-ignite the creative fire within.
