Keith Haring, USA 19-82, 1982 is a striking color lithograph that encapsulates the artist's distinctive visual language and his engagement with the socio-political landscape of the early 1980s. Measuring 22 x 30 inches, this piece is hand-signed and dated by Haring, and is numbered from an edition of 50, underscoring its exclusivity and the artist's deliberate approach to limited editions.
At the heart of the composition is Haring's iconic "radiant baby" figure, rendered in bold red, symbolizing purity, potential, and the vitality of new life. This central figure is flanked by two serpentine, dog-like creatures, their forms intertwining with the human figure, suggesting themes of duality and the interplay between innocence and the complexities of the world. The background features a mound of dots, a recurring motif in Haring's work, which adds texture and depth to the composition.
The lithograph's vibrant colors and dynamic forms are characteristic of Haring's style, which merges elements of street art with a pop aesthetic. Through this piece, Haring addresses issues of identity, societal structures, and the human condition, inviting viewers to reflect on the interconnectedness of individuals within the broader societal framework.
USA 19-82 stands as a testament to Haring's ability to convey complex themes through accessible and compelling imagery, solidifying his place as a pivotal figure in contemporary art.
Created in 1982, this color lithograph is hand-signed and dated by Keith Haring (Reading, 1958 - New York City, 1990)in pencil and numbered from the edition of 50 in pencil in the lower left.
