Cooper was drawn to the graffiti scene in the early 80s. She photographed graffiti on trains and kids in low income neighborhoods playing. Cooper was lucky enough to capture Keith Haring working on a mural high above the city streets. I personally love this picture because Haring is one of my favorite artists and it's beautiful that Cooper was able to capture this moment in time only about 10 years before he passed. This picture depicts how focused he is on creating his vision, likely how he was with all of his artwork. I think it's interesting how an artist is able to capture another artist without compromising the other ones work.
