“Bent over, barefoot and bare chested, [Haring] let his patterns take him where they would. He worked in a tight combination of order… and ecstasy, letting interlocking abstract patterns push, pull and jostle one another like excited dancers on a ballroom floor.”
Robert Farris Thompson, “Notes in the Art and Life of Keith Haring,” in: Exh. Cat., Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, Keith Haring: The Political Line, 2014, p. 47
