9. Untitled (Nativity), 1983 Medium: chalk on black paper In this piece of work, Haring incorporates his use of his known symbol The Radiant Baby to symbolize the child of Christ in his rendition of the Nativity scene. He also included the Holy Family surrounding the Radiant Child, the shepherds, and Magi, but draws them in his own unique way. The 4 winged-men symbolize the angels surrounding the star in the sky beaming down upon the Radiant Child. The lines beaming off the Radiant Child “indicate spiritual light glowing from within, as though the baby were a holy figure from a religious painting, only the glow is rendered in the visual vocabulary of a cartoon,” says Haring. These specific elements reinforce the meaning of the piece by relating them to the original Nativity scene, establishing the same connection between the artist and his audience. http://www.haring.com/art_haring/images/radiantchrist_6.jpg
