Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by Wearology on Sept 1, 2013 14:00:43 GMT 1, I borrowed this from an article titled "Heaven and Hell" by Ralph Melcher 

Works like this perhaps allow us to understand best of all what an outrageous tightrope act Keith Haring permanently performed in his art. The sudden changes from positive to negative, the permanent presence, at least subliminally, of the remote, threatening and destructive elements in the grotesque and the playful are all too often evident. That is why it is astonishing that this dark side in Keith Haring’s creation is so rarely recognized, or is perhaps even deliberately overlooked. The martyr must remain a positive hero; a tragic, but consequently much more human ambiguity is rarely conferred on him, but the negative must also be uncompromisingly forgotten in the positive, since one is a requirement of the other. The three-eyed Face, another of Haring’s figures which appears repeatedly, and was on the cover of the catalogue for Keith Haring’s first one-man exhibition, which took place in 1982 in Tony Shafrazi’s New York gallery, in some way first establishes the uncompromising positive element, and carries it straight through to the unmentioned dark side (cat. no. 1). Haring had always followed this train of thought exactly and assimilated it, which is why his most commercial and apparently most characterless happy little figures never achieved the complete moral emptiness of Disney figures, for instance.
