Keith Haring The Paris Review (Littman p.114)
Meaning & History"Keith Haring's commission for The Paris Review solidifies and legitimises his importance across literary and artistic culture, as the magazine was and continues to be one of the most respected quarterly magazines. "
The Paris Review is a screenprint created by the artist in 1989. It is a work commissioned for the famous quarterly literary magazine founded in 1953 of the same name. In the 60s, the magazine began releasing prints and posters by contemporary artists of the day. Keith Haring was amongst other greats such as Louise Bourgeois, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein to be published for an edition, solidifying and legitimising his importance across literary and artistic culture.
Haring’s screenprint is typically, if not especially playful, for the tone of the serious and intellectual publication. On the blank white side of the print, he draws a clown-figure with thin, tentacle like hair emerging from his head. The colourful and humourous picture shows Haring’s defining characteristic and value of making art for a mass audience, even when creating for a magazine such as The Paris Review: the democratisation of art was key to his practice.
