About the Work
"Drawings for Paris Review" is an ink and graphite on paper drawing created by Keith Haring in 1982. The drawing is signed, titled, and dated 'Drawings for PARIS REVIEW Sept. 23- 82 K. Haring' lower left. The image size is 8 x 10.25" and the artwork is framed in a contemporary black frame. The artwork ships framed.
Once owned by the esteemed Whitney Museum curator, Richard D. Marshall, Drawings for Paris Review was originally created for the cover of Issue 85, Fall 1982 of The Paris Review literary magazine. Ahead of publication, the cover design underwent a modification, adding a vibrant red background that intensified the impact of Haring's distinct graphic style. Drawings for Paris Review showcases Haring's signature approach with tiers of dynamic dancing figures forming a precarious human pyramid, exuding boundless energy and movement.
In the midst of the AIDS crisis, Haring sought to celebrate and unite music, movement and the interconnectedness of the human spirit using his exuberant genderless figures. These dancing figures with expressive gestures and dynamic lines evoke a feeling of rhythm and uninhibited freedom, not only paying homage to the rhythmic energy of the NYC club scene, but also taking on a larger meaning of togetherness, unity and perseverance in the face of the AIDS epidemic.
