Untitled (Red and Black Woodcut) (Littmann P. 28) by Keith Haring is a dynamic early print that showcases the artist's ability to transform simple forms into complex and energetic shapes. Created in 1983, the work is dominated by two large human figures that sprawl across and intersect with one another, their bodies extending through almost the entire picture plane.

Rendered in Haring's distinctive red and black palette, the figures are surrounded by a network of recurring symbols, radiating marks and abstract forms. Rather than existing as isolated subjects, the bodies become part of the wider work, their limbs merging with the surrounding lines to create a sense of continuous movement. This interplay between figure and pattern gives the work a rhythmic quality while maintaining the clarity and immediacy that define Haring output.

Produced during a formative period in the artist's career, the woodcut reflects Haring's growing engagement with printmaking as a means of extending the reach of his work beyond the streets and galleries of New York. The medium's bold graphic qualities are particularly suited to his imagery, preserving the strength of his line and the directness of his works.
