Keith Haring Journals by Keith Haring

emotional inspiring medium-paced

5.0

I bought this book after seeing journals on display as part of the Haring exhibit at AGO in Toronto. This was the perfect start to 2024; inspiring, and also a reminder that time is precious and running out. If you want salacious gossip, these aren’t your journals to read (though, some of his petty squabbles are pretty funny). Rather, this is a genius at work- one of my favorite artists since childhood- documenting his craft and process with the full knowledge he won’t be around to tell these stories himself in the decades and decades to come. I loved it. I learned from it.
