New Keith Haring App Will Transform The User Back To The 1980s

When it comes to bringing people together, few artists can compare to Keith Haring. One of the major pop figures of the go-go Eighties, Haring drew inspiration from the music of the streets, the spirit of the club scene, and the signs of the times, creating a playful, celebratory  vision that continues to inspire to this day.  Designed for the serious student and armchair art fan alike, Art Intelligence also gives you bonus features including: a biography of the artist, a curated selection of books, films, music, and a hyperlinked syllabus to help you continue your journey into the world of Keith Haring.

His art was for everyone. Whether on subway walls or public buildings, t-shirts or watches, major galleries or museums, Haring’s life work is a glorious reminder that, together, we are the world.
