The "Radiant Baby" figure of a baby crawling with radiating lines of energy is one of Haring's most recognized motifs and became his tag. In his 1986 journal, the artist wrote: "The reason that the ‘baby’ has become my logo or signature is that it is the purest and most positive experience of human existence... Children are color-blind and still free of all the complications, greed and hatred that will slowly be instilled in them through life" (Codrington). Printed to accompany Haring's solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Bordeaux from 15 December 1985 to 23 January 1986, this catalog includes an interview with the artist by Sylvie Couderc in French as well as an English translation alongside photographs by the artists' friend, Tseng.
