About Keith Haring, Art in Transit: Subway Drawings with Photos by Tseng Kwong Chi: This highly collectible & well preserved 1984 Keith Haring monograph examines them much historic & seminal chalk drawings done by Keith Haring on blank advertising spaces in the New York City subway during the early 1980s. "An art book, a photography book, a collection of graphic jokes, a celebration of city life, a happening...'Art in Transit' is a collection of Keith Haring's subway drawings, which lights up the subterranean vistas of the New York City subways with radiant energy." (publisher’s statement) Soft cover; 95 pages; 1st edition 1984. Approximately 8 x 11.5 inches. Very good overall vintage condition with some slight shelf-wear. String spine; well-preserved. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. Introduction by Henry Geldzahler with a statement by Keith Haring. Photo documentation by Tseng Kwong Chi. Artist Statement: “I have been drawing in the subway for three years now, and although my career aboveground has skyrocketed, the subway is still my favorite place to draw. There is something very “real” about the subway system and the people who travel in it; perhaps there is not another place in the world where people of such diverse appearance, background, and life-style have intermingled for a common purpose. In this underground environment, one can often feel a sense of oppression and struggle in the vast assortment of faces. It is in this context that an expression of hope and beauty carries the greatest rewards.“ (source: Keith Haring Foundation). Keith Haring was an American artist and social activist known for his illustrative depictions of figures and symbols. His white chalk drawings could often been found on the blank poster marquees in New York’s public spaces and subways. “I don't think art is propaganda,” he once stated. “It should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.” Born on May 4, 1958 in Reading, PA, he grew up in neighboring Kutztown, where he was inspired to draw from an early age by Walt Disney cartoons and his father who was an amateur cartoonist. After briefly studying commercial art in Pittsburgh, Haring came across a show of the works of Pierre Alechinksy and decided to pursue a career in fine art instead. He moved to New York in the late 1970s to attend the School of Visual Arts, and soon immersed himself in the city’s graffiti culture. By the mid-1980s, he had befriended fellow artists Andy Warhol, Kenny Scharf, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and collaborated with celebrities like the singer Grace Jones. Diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 1988, Haring’s prodigious career was brief, and he died of AIDS-related complications on February 16, 1990 at the age of 31. Before his death, Haring established the Keith Haring Foundation, a non-profit committed to raising awareness of the illness through art programing and community outreach. Throughout his career, Haring made his art widely available through the location of his murals, as well as through the Pop Shop—Haring's own storefront which he used to sell his memorabilia.The artist’s mural Crack is Wack (1986), can still be seen today on a retaining wall along FDR Drive in Manhattan. Haring’s works can be found in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.

Art can give us a better understanding of our emotions and the world we live in. Even though some art pieces can be difficult to comprehend, they might provoke one to think and find his or her own meaning. Art is often connected to human emotions. In the process of creating art, artists express what they are concerned or curious about. In this way, they explore their own thoughts and feelings and at the same time encourage the public to engage in the journey of meaning-making.
These shocking pictures illustrate the sad reality of everyday life humans live now, and the sad part is, change doesn't seem to be near.

Why is mosaic art so popular? Whenever we feature a new piece of mosaic artwork on our blog, it makes a strong impression. In person, it’s touchable and approachable, and so appealing. Beyond that, handmade mosaic art has inspired numerous writers over the years. Also, the concept of many small pieces forming a finished piece of art stretches across cultures and emotions. It’s an idea that describes our lives, with all the joys and complications that they hold. Top Ten Fantastic Mosaic Quotes 1. “We are mosaics. Pieces of light, love, history, stars… Glued together with magic and music and words.” ― Anita Krizzan Lady in Blue by Mozaico The idea that the very essence of our being is formed from our experiences, relationships, inspiration, and a dash of cosmic beauty is quite lovely, isn’t it? Poet Anita Krizzan’s lines speak to the moments we are happily aware of our existence. Our Lady in Blue mosaic wall art captures this feeling. Serene blues, swirling mosaic patterns, gentle doves and bright flowers surround a woman. Moreover, her closed eyes and peaceful expression show a woman who is receptive to her personal voice and her ties to the world around her. 2. “…but beautiful mosaics are made of broken pieces.” ― Lori Jenessa Nelson Butterflies & Buttercups by Mozaico This line of poetry is not only true in the literal sense – a mosaic pattern can indeed be made of all kinds of broken pieces! – but applies to life. Nelson has always written movingly about love, loss, and moving on. Simply, none of us are immune to heartbreak, we think it’s a powerful choice to celebrate the beauty that can manifest as we heal and grow. That being said, our glass mosaic wall art selection is a great symbol of that change. Butterflies, known for their transformation, and luscious blooms are rendered in luminous tile pieces. 3. “Your life moves in patterns toward things, and things that we achieve finally are part of this mosaic. I just think that we create our own fate.” – Arne Glimcher Life of Balance by Mozaico We think that art dealer and film director Glimcher would appreciate the style of this marble mosaic art. And, his belief that we are still the captains of our fate in a bigger pattern is depicted here quite literally. Anyone who navigates a busy life can identify with this figure skillfully walking a tightrope. 4. “One should make one’s life a mosaic. Let the general design be good, the colors lively, and the materials diversified.” – Marthe Bibesco Music Listening Mosaic by Mozaico French author Bibesco believed that our lives should be fully realized. Reading her words, the sense of someone creating a wonderful variety of interests and tapping into our inspirations fits perfectly with the mosaic art of “Listening to Music”. The swirl of colors, slightly abstract design, and enraptured expressions of the flutist and listener evoke a full life and an appreciation of art 5. “We are not here to fit in…we are here to be eccentric, different, perhaps strange, perhaps merely to add our small piece, our little clunky, chunky selves, to the great mosaic of being… to become more and more ourselves.” – James Hollis Fantasy by Mozaico What a wonderful celebration of our individual beauty exists in Hollis’s lines! Daring to be different and add our quirky contributions without fear – well, we found a perfect representation. Actually, this glass mosaic art shows a figure who is self-assured and possibly a bit cheeky. As they confidently sport their unique ties to nature atop their head, they dare us to believe in them. 6. “For ages happiness has been represented as a huge precious stone, impossible to find, which people seek for hopelessly. It is not so; happiness is a mosaic, composed of a thousand little stones, which separately and of themselves have little value, but which united with art form a graceful design.” – Delphine de Girardin Brother & Sister by Mozaico Small and perfect moments, as Girardin reminds us, form a greater happiness. And this custom mosaic tile piece is a great example. The sweetness of the brother and sister holding hands is captured forever in this handmade mosaic. 7. “Our lives are a mosaic of little things, like putting a rose in a vase on the table.” – Ingrid Trobisch Red & White Roses by Mozaico We can think of no better way to illustrate this sentiment than this celebration of uncut roses. The old saying about stopping to smell the roses is also appropriate. No doubt, this piece of floral mosaic wall art would be perfect in the garden, reminding us to appreciate small beauties even in the dead of winter. 8. “Music is, for me, like a beautiful mosaic which God has put together. He takes all the pieces in his hand, throws them into the world, and we have to recreate the picture from the pieces.” – Jean Sibelius Musical Soire by Mozaico Composer and violinist Sibelius, known for his symphonies and tone poems, felt music everywhere. Hence, his description of musical inspiration everywhere will seem familiar to anyone with a creative bent. This lively mosaic art abstraction of music, musicians, and flow of notes is a nearly perfect depiction of how the creative process feels. 9. “It dances today, my heart, like a peacock it dances, it dances. It sports a mosaic of passions like a peacock’s tail, It soars to the sky with delight, it quests, Oh wildly, it dances today, my heart, like a peacock it dances.” – Rabindranath Tagore Peacock on a Rock by Mozaico Poet and artist Tagore expresses the emotions of love and likens them to a shimmering, vibrating peacock’s tail. So, if you’ve ever been lucky enough to see this colorful display in person, you know how memorable it is. For anyone celebrating their romance, this handmade mosaic art is a wonderful way to show it. The peacock has just leaped on top of a rock to show off for his beloved, leaving his glorious tail draped behind him for us to admire. 10. “Marriage is a mosaic you build with your spouse. Millions of tiny moments that create your love story.” – Jennifer E. Smith Klimt The Kiss Mosaic Reproduction by Mozaico We close out our quotes with this satisfying tribute to love and marriage. Author Smith simultaneously offers advice to newlyweds and celebrates anniversaries in these lines. As always, she reminds couples to treasure the small moments as they happen, and remember them together in the future. We feel that the rapturous celebration of true love shown in Klimt’s “Kiss” would be a wonderful gift for a wedding or anniversary, sent with these words. Which of our quotes provides the most inspiration for you? If you’re ever looking for the best way to illustrate your thoughts, we have an immense selection of mosaic art designs to choose from.
