Untitled (Red and Green Woodcut) (Littmann P. 29) by Keith Haring is a striking early print from 1983. Using the same composition as his Red and Black Woodcut, Haring replaces the darker palette with vivid red and green, transforming the mood of the image whilst retaining the energy and immediacy that define his work from this period.

Untitled (Red and Green) is dominated by two large intertwined human figures whose bodies extend across much of the sheet. Their forms weave through a dense network of symbols, radiating marks and abstract motifs, creating a dynamic sense of movement across the surface. Haring's ability to organise complex imagery through a highly distilled image is evident throughout, with each element contributing to a piece that feels both structured and spontaneous.

The bold red and green palette heightens the impact of the work and emphasises the relationship between figure and ground. Rather than relying on detail or modelling, Haring constructs the image through strong contours, simplified forms and rhythmic repetition.

Produced during a formative period in Haring's career, the woodcut reflects his growing engagement with printmaking and his commitment to making art accessible to a wider audience. The medium's direct, graphic qualities were ideally suited to his imagery, allowing him to translate the energy of his drawings into editioned works.
