Keith Haring was born on May 4, 1958, in Reading, Pennsylvania, to Allen and Joan Gruen, the eldest of four children. His family moved to Kutztown a few years after his birth, and it was here that he spent most of his childhood; while still a child he revealed a strong inclination for drawing, openly encouraged by his father Allen, who had early intuited the inclinations and artistic talent of his son. Despite his untimely death, Haring's imagery has become a universally recognized visual language of the 20th century
