Radiant: The Life and Line of Keith Haring by Brad Gooch
Did not finish book. Stopped at 37%.
Dnf @ 37%
Sorry to this man, but I could not be bothered to continue. I love reading about the intricacies about a person's life, but oh my god:
1) we don't need every quote of every person involved in the subject's life; 1-2 quotes and we get the picture
2) do we really need to describe the lives of every single individual that crossed the subject's path?
3) unless you're involved with the art world, maybe don't include all the subtle nuances of it for the every-reader
I love art and art history, but this wore my patience down to a matchstick. This book needed another round of editing and condensing. If you're an avid - and I do mean AVID - fan of Haring, then you'll probably enjoy this book more than I did.
