“Meshing Madison Avenue and Walt Disney with systemic and contextual art, and laying it all onto a graffiti beat, Haring is creating more than good paintings and drawings. He’s not just making art; he’s communicating in a totally contemporary way.” –Jeffrey Deitch, “Why the Dogs are Barking” in Tony Shafrazi et. al., Keith Haring, New York, 1982, p. 20

“The Flying Saucer appeared, zapping animals in a field, transferring some extraterrestrial force to the animal world. From the animal, the Flying Saucer zapped faceless humans...They became energy sources. Then the kid happened. Maybe the kid is radiating energy that had been zapped down to earth by the Flying Saucer.” –Keith Haring
