Keith Haring, a prominent figure in the New York downtown art scene of the 1980s, has remained one of the most celebrated figures in contemporary American art for over three decades. In Ricardo Montez's comprehensive book-length treatment of Haring's artistry, the drawn and painted line that served as the focal point of Haring's artistic practice is explored. Montez delves into how Haring used this line to mark canvases, subway walls, and even human flesh, leaving a lasting impact on the art world. "Keith Haring's Line: Uniting Performance Studies, Critical Race Studies, and Queer Theory in an Exploration of Cross-Racial Desire in Haring's Life and Art" is a groundbreaking work that combines performance studies, critical race studies, and queer theory to examine Haring's complex relationships with race and racial imaginaries. Through a series of engaging and thought-provoking essays, Montez explores Haring's engagements with various artists, including dancer and choreographer Bill T. Jones, graffiti artist LA II, and iconic superstar Grace Jones. Montez highlights scenes of complicity in order to challenge both the positive connotations of inter-racial artistic collaboration and the limited framework of appropriation. Haring's Line challenges the notion of artistic appropriation and raises important questions about the boundaries of cultural exchange and the power dynamics that shape artistic production. By examining Haring's life and art through the lens of cross-racial desire, Montez offers a fresh perspective on the artist's legacy and the ongoing relevance of his work in today's society.
