" Rodin a découvert la liberté totale de son dessin à l'Exposition Universelle où dansaient des Cambodgiennes. Matisse vénère la danse. Les mobiles de Calder sont des danseuses éoliennes. ... Klee dansait seul dans son atelier. Keith Haring ne s'est pas trompé ... il choisi une musique de danse qui déploie le corps." (Pierre Sterckx, Keith Haring, Break-dansce et peinture Hip-Hop, in catalogue Keith Haring, Lyon, 2008, p.109)
