A beautiful book for lovers,

Keith Haring was an exceptionally talented artist, and after flipping through "Love," I discovered that he was also a poet. It's a great little book perfect for sharing with a significant other. This book just makes you feel good!

The vibrant vision of Keith Haring,
This review is from: Love (Hardcover)
Keith Haring, who died of AIDS-related complications in 1990, was an artist with a bold and distinctive style. "Love" contains many of his drawings together with the text of a poem he wrote.This is a beautiful book. Haring created an instantly recognizable style with his drawings. His portrayals of heart shapes, human shapes, and other elements have both an iconic quality and a life-affirming energy. Many of his drawings combine a mystical feeling with postmodern playfulness. My only reservation about this book involves a note on the page of publication data. It reads, "The Keith Haring artwork in this book has been reproduced faithfully; however the colors of some works have been altered." Huh? I see no need to change the artist's colors. I think the editors of the book overstepped themselves with that decision. Nevertheless, this book effectively captures the genius of Keith Haring, an artist who continues to inspire people all over the world.

Pop, colorful and a bit sad Love Poem by Keith,
This review is from: Love (Hardcover)
Pop and colorful picture book full of hearts and couples designs. The text is a complete poem written by Keith as a teenager. Broken hearted words, "There'll be never be another you!" would be impressive to all generations.
