Keith Haring was a pop artist born in 1958 in Pennsylvania who was fascinated by cartoons as a child. He began his career drawing in the New York City subway system in the 1980s, inspired by the graffiti art there. Haring's art featured vibrant, rhythmic line drawings of figures appearing to vibrate or move. He opened two Pop Shops to make his art more accessible to the public.
