Meaning & Analysis

This print was originally designed as a poster for the Montreux Jazz Festival held in Switzerland annually on the Lake Geneva shoreline. The festival is the second largest annual jazz festival in the world and Haring was commissioned to produce a trio of posters in 1983. In 1986 the artist collaborated with Andy Warhol to create a further poster for the festival.

Adhering to the theme of a music festival, this print exudes a sense of rhythmic energy in the way that the figure twists and dances, energy lines emanating from its bendy body. Haring uses saturated, opposing colours throughout the print to produce a jarring effect that furthers this sense of musical energy. Immediately recognisable as an image by Haring, Montreux Festival De Jazz is exemplary of why the artist was commissioned by international organisations to produce posters throughout his career.

  • Keith Haring was a luminary of the 1980s downtown New York scene. His distinctive visual language pioneered one-line Pop Art drawings and he has been famed for his colourful, playful imagery. Haring's iconic energetic motifs and figures were dedicated to influencing social change, and particularly challenging stigma around the AIDS epidemic. Haring also pushed for the accessibility of art by opening Pop Shops in New York and Japan, selling a range of ephemera starting from as little as 50 cents. Haring's legacy has been cemented in the art-activism scene and is a testament to power of art to inspire social change
