Keith Haring Untitled (Plate 2), 1987 is a charming work from one of the most successful periods of the artist’s career. It is rendered in a primary palette of red, yellow, blue and black and is created with the use of lithography, a form of printing that involves using a flat sheet of stone or metal treated to repel ink. The artist has rendered four of his signature figures. Torsos of three red figures line the bottom half of the composition with their arms stretched above their heads. Together they hold up one large figure in blue who lay sin a horizontal position. This figure is accentuated with action lines surrounding its arms and legs which signify movement or excitement regarding the position it finds itself in. All four figures are placed atop a yellow background. This color palette is reminiscent of the naivety of a children’s drawing, and this is enhanced by the hand-painted quality of the work that is achieved with lithography.
