About Keith Haring Wooden Magnetic Shapes Set – Mudpuppy

The Keith Haring Wooden Magnetic Shapes is the perfect accent of colorful modern art in magnetic surfaces of your home.

Both decorative and functional, the Keith Haring Wooden Magnetic Shapes promise hours of fun and the invaluable beginnings of an art education. Haring grew up in Kurtztown, Pennsylvania, attended the School of Visual Arts in New York, and, as did Jean-Michel Basquiat burst onto the New York art scene as a graffiti artist in the city’s subway system. The authorities would constantly remove Haring’s chalk figures, drawn on blank black posters awaiting for advertisers. Haring quickly gained a wide and appreciative audience for his linear cartoon-inspired fantasies and began to sell paintings to avid collectors. Haring, like Andy Warhol, was thoroughly in tune with pop culture and displayed a genius for marketing himself and his work. Haring developed a distinctive vocabulary of cartoon figures all rendered with such vibrancy and cheerfulness that they can neither be ignored nor dismissed.
