Author Burgess and illustrator Cochran show how generous a person he was, and how children played a central part in his life and work. Celebrated artist, activist and humanitarian, Keith Haring is the perfect subject for this graphic novel. Belying their bright, playful aesthetics, his pieces often tackled intensely controversial socio-political issues, including racism, capitalism, religious fundamentalism, and the increasing impact of AIDS on New York’s gay community, the latter foreshadowing his own death from the disease in 1990. From chalk drawings deep in the New York City subways to murals in Pisa and Berlin; collaborations with William Burroughs and the famous body painting of Grace Jones this book follows the incredible trajectory of Keith Haring's artistic career: how a young man from a small town in rural Pennsylvania came to revolutionize the art world and the course of art history within little more than a decade. Titled after a quote from Haring's journals, Art Is for Everybody centers on the artist's activism, the emphasis he placed on community and his egalitarian approach to art and life.
